One touch vert switch?

So I know it's pretty easy to wire in a one-touch module for your windows. What about one for the vert switch, so you don't have to hold it? Is it something you could adapt a one-touch window module for or more of a specialty figure it out and make-it type deal?

Follow-up question;
How do these modules know to stop putting the window up/down once it's reached 'fully closed'?

Cool idea

That's what I'm thinkin'. My cupholder covers it so it's a pain to reach under there but it'd at least be slightly easier if I could just hit it. I still want to find out out to by-pass the E-brake saftey too, I always forget to put it back down.

The e-brake safety might be pretty easy. Most likely just have to show a ground to the switch and it should work. The top on the other hand I could see being a pain. The window module will most definitely not work if adapted to the top. The window is setup for a window and that's it. You would basically have to get a module that's timed for the length of time it takes for the top to go through the movement or have a safety switch setup where it is triggered when the top is all the way down. This is probably easier said than done given that a soft top is floppy and will most likely not be consistent enough for some sort of safety switch. Just my thoughts, Scott's good with electrical stuff hopefully he chimes in.

So the window modules work on a timer, basically? That's unfourtunate, I was hoping you could just wire one up to the top switch.
Theres a thread somewhere around about the e-brake saftey thing but I don't think an easy workaround was really found. I should go check again to see if I'm wrong though.

well one way to bypass the ebrake is to just tape the sensor closed and remove the bulb from the dash. also there is no way it uses a timer becuase that would have to assume it's always up to the full position when you hit the button. which isn't the case, you can one-touch it down in any position of travel. so it's got to be a safety cut-off or something when it reaches the bottom.

I'd rather not take out the bulb, if there were another option. Even though right now my brakelight is on 24/7....
I wouldn't have thought it was a timer, but I dont know what else it could be because electrically ignorant.
