Window valet question
I just picked up a window valet yesterday. I have a question about weather or not it can be used with the windows partially up or down.
I believe the instructions say that if the windows are halfway up and you hit the up function on the remote, they would close all the way but the system would think it hit an obstruction and bring them back down.
So the question is, can the window valet function only be used if the windows are completely open or completely closed? Or will it work if your windows are cracked open as well?

I think it works like this...
If the windows are say 1/2 way down, then you have to use your key fob+ window valet to roll them all the way down then you can roll them up from that point.
I think the only consideration is that the safety mechanism in the valet is set for the time it takes the windows to roll up from their lowest point.
I have rolled my windows down half way using the valet by doing this...
Roll windows all the way down. Then press the lock button three times. as the windows roll up, I press the button a fourth time to stop the windows where I want them. Then to roll them up, I press the unlock button to roll the windows all the way down, then the lock button to roll the windows all the way up.
