I did not think that 125.00 was a good price to be able to put up and down the windows, but I went for it anyway. With the vert, it is a great investment. The easiest install in history and the convenience is more than worth it. Now I do not have to climb back in the car every time I put the top up.

The best mod on my car. Walk out after work, three clicks, both windows drop, unlatch the passenger side of the top, walk around and unlatch the driver's side and the top is down. You'll love it!

It is a very cool little device. Comes in handy for those hot days to let the heat out of the car.

And being able to leave the window or windows down so I can close the hatch with one hand.

This was the thread a few days ago. You may still be able to get in on it.

It's well worth it. Mine was on when I bought the car but I would spend the money.

no vert should be without a window valet. even at full price it is well worth not having the repetitive frustration of getting back into the car to deal with the windows and take out the keys.
