Default Window Valet Question...

When rolling up the windows via the key fob, is it possible to stop the
roll just before it reaches the top? On my vert, I like to leave a small gap between the window and the top. It doesn't sound like the Window Valet will allow me to do it... it seems to either roll all the way down or all the way up.... ???

I posted this last week when there was another member with a similar Q'. They asked if you could roll the windows up, with the Valet, from a midway point.

"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."


Mind you, the above techniuqe puts alot of wear on window motors if you do it often.
