Default Anyone tried the TOP DOWN TECH Window Valet???

Just wondering if anyone has hooked one of these bad boys up to see if it works as good as it claims. Price and features seem good, plus you dont have to tear in your door to install. Any info?
thanks :flag

Easy install. Windows up/down works as advertised. No more getting back in after putting the top up just to roll up the windows. Unlock doors with e-brake also works. Power on after key removal works intermittantly. Great deal in comparison to other solutions.

Unless you have a convertible, this seems pretty useless to me, if not hazardous! :sleep:

With the windows down, it's a bit easier to squeeze in and out of the car in a tight garage or tight parking space. I don't take the top off often, but I use the window valet a lot more often than I thought I would.

How do you install it? It sounds like you don't have to take your dash apart?

It plugs in under the steering column.

I was one of the first to have this product. My car was used as the 2001 model year test car. I have never had a problem with it. It's easy to install and works great :yesnod:

Instead of :sleep: , why not read the threads that have been posted about it recently, or go to their website. You'll find it has more features than you think, including being those that would be useful on the less expensive coupe models?

I have it, and love it. The best mod you can buy for the C5 -- should have been stock.
