Auto up window?
One other thing I've noticed with this car, it seems to have two clicks when putting the driver window up, would that imply that it is supposed to have the "auto up" feature? If so it doesn't seem to be working, it raises and lowers itself properly when opening/closing the door, but auto up doesn't work when you click the switch twice. Any ideas here guys?

No auto up feature in any American car that I know of. I think it's for safety to keep kids and pets from getting their heads, etc. caught.

My 09 Mustang had auto up/down, it's not a big deal to me, but any car that i've been in that has that two step switch, usually means it has auto up. Ah well, no big deal.

Not common maybe but it's out there. The 2008 Dodge Avenger we just got rid of had the Express(auto) Up/Down feature for driver and passenger windows.(not rear windows)

OP, I noticed it too in the vette and had the same question as well. Alas we are not treated to the feature.

It's there but just not taken advantage of by Chevrolet.
The 'Window Valet' mod allows you to press a combination of keys on your key FOB to make the windows go up or down (or even 'crack' a little when it's really HOT).

I will say this, having the feature on the down and up side makes it a PITA to just crack the windows.

This thread comes up every couple of months.
It should not be that hard to do auto window up. The Window Valet can do it from the FOB. I have sent in multiple emails to the Window Valet manufacturer and a few forum vendors that sell them suggesting this feature. No answer.

Actually most American cars have it now. I travel and rent cars a lot and almost all of them have it regardless of brand. The wife's Shelby has it as does my Ford truck.
