I believe its worth it, especially if you trailer the car on an open trailer you can get out through the window and close the window with the remote!

Thats the great thing about mods. One size doesn't fit all. If we were all the same all Corvettes would be Red.............

Whatever floats your boat

We have one in each vette. Great when you come out of work and can have the windows come down before you get to the car.

I agree, not for everyone. If I had a coupe or FRC I'd say no. The windows down wouldn't be worth it. BUT,,, I have a vert any always drop the top. CLick, CLick, CLick,,, down go the windows. Just reach in and unlock the top. Drop it, get in and go. When locking up at night I just put oup the top, once again just reach in to lock it, then CLick, CLick, Click,,, up go the windows.

I was happy the very first time I used it.

Sorry if I mislead you. I got mine used from a forum member and it works great. I was just implying that you look for a used one first.

These last few +90º days, it's been awesome! I leave the AC on Max when I exit the car... this way, when I autostart the car, the AC's running... I use the W.Valet to drop the windows and the car's totally cooled off when I get it!

Just my .02¢

The window vallet is a fantastic product. Works awesome, gets used evertime you enter and exit the car, and could not be any easier to install.

I love mine. They are a bit pricey, but great to have. Got mine in the Group price deal we had here awhile back.
