Yeah, thanks WaynesWorld -- mine always had trouble with the windows up feature. Windows down works great. I'll try the re-learn.

During the heat of a Texas summer, it's absolutely great to be able to put the windows down before I get to the car in order to let the hot air out of the car. It doesn't take quite as long to cool down the interior.

Plus, there's the "Hey, look what my car does". It always impresses people

Thanks for everyone's input. I just ordered the valet from southern car parts.

A very simple, but valuable mod that you'll be happy to have, especially if you drive a vert -- no more climbing back into the car to secure the top and put windows up after a drive. Also makes exiting the car easier in tight spots, if that becomes necessary. Does anyone know if it would also work on, say, a Lexus LX 470?

I mostly use it for this, saves time when you want to put the top up or down.
