Default Vert question. Can windows auto up?

Not a real nagging problem, but as you other c5 vert owners know its a slight pain to have to manually close the windows when you put the top back up. It would be nice if the windows could somehow be triggered to go up on their own since they can already auto down on their own.

Can't auto up, more safety problems. My 2006 Nissan Murano has auto up for front windows, but it has a "force sensor", so if it hits anything (arm / head) it reverses direction.

But for $149 (may be cheaper elseware) you can get a Window Valet which will lower and raise your windows using remote. You just plug it into OBD II plug under dash. Here is link:

Window Valet is the answer. A bit 'spensive but for a vert owner well worth it. Should have come from the factory working like that.
