Default Power Window

On C5 the power windows control panel already provide the "one touch" down on both sides. I'm looking for a mod, to have "one touch" up on the driver window door control panel as well.

I know the Window Valet but it doesn't provide this option.

Don't you think this option on stock equipement is missing :cry

Someone could you tell me how could I modify my vett or where I could find relay or any electronic equipment to add.

Thanks in advance.

I could be wrong but, I think the reason they don't do this is because someone could get caught or possibly hurt with this feature.

Someone you mean the driver. If this driver is stupîd enough to close the window and to live his arm outside after having pressing the button. :crazy: This driver should rather driven a wheelbarrow :D

The concern is not for the driver, but rather an unaware person like a child or even a pet. :rolleyes:
It's been known to happen.

I could be wrong but I think Mercedes Benz has auto up/down. Someone told me they have seen it. It should be another configurable option. Don't you think.

You are right, Mercedes BMW Porsche and... GM. I SAW A CADILLAC WITH A ONE TOUCH UP AND DOWN WINDOW (for the driver window only), :smash: and I'm sure it s possible to continue the list.
About safety, I'm sure it may happen but with a four doors car. But on a 2 doors it seems to be difficult. When you have left the car with your key, you you can't close the window.
