Default Window Valet - good product?

There is a Window Valet currently on eBay for about half price. It is supposed to allow windows to be raised or lowered remotely with the FOB... plus some other things like unlocking doors in Park. Anyone have experience with this?

I have one in my Vert and it is great, it saves a lot of time when I put the top up or down but it has alot of really neat functions other than that. You can't go wrong with it.

Practically mandatory for a vert and probably handy for a coupe or frc. Click 3 times on fob unlock button to lower windows. Click 3 times on fob lock button to raise windows. It does some other stuff too, but this is functionality you'll wonder how you lived without.

This is one of those products that should be standard on all Vettes from the factory.

I finally broke down and bought one and it is a very nice addition. No more leaving the car running while you put the top up just so you can roll up the windows. Get one.

I have an AE Coupe and it is the best money I have spent on her to date. I use it to roll down the windows......completely or partially, and the extended aux power feature is nice and can be done without being in the car.

I also like the features of max speed, miles last driven and the "broken speedo" setting.

All in all it should have been standard on thethe car in the first place !

EXCELLENT Product! If you purchase it, ask the seller if it comes with the instructions. In the instructions, there is a 4 or 5 digit code that you will need to set the window up and down force. If you dont get those instructions, you will have to contact the company for instructions and the code.
