Default C5 Convertible Window???

Hi All,

Did the 2000 C5 convertible ever have a system like the C7 convertible which would slightly lower the window upon opening and raise it to full up after the door was closed?

I did not think that was a feature until the C7 or maybe C6 convertible models.

The C5 does not have the vent option for the windows. You might look into the window valet which lets you remotely raise and lower your windows............

My 2000 the windows go down if I don’t put them down when I put the top down but don’t go up when I put the top up, if you can understand all the up and down 😀

They go down when you raise the tonneau cover. I didn't like having to leave the car running or get back in to raise the windows once the top was secure. The window valet solved that and more.

It plugs into your obdII port and once sync'ed will allow you to raise the windows or lower them using the cars key fob. See post below. I love it. On those rare occasions when someone parks a bit too close, I can put the window down making it easier to get in.

Well being sarcastic isn’t meaningful.

But without that little handy gadget, opening and closing the doors with the windows up, eventually wears material from the rear corner of the ragtop.
