car electric windows

You might have better luck by posting the question on aus.cars.

Cheers, Alan

It's my understanding that the reason this is not done normally is because of safety issues. The button on my drivers window is auto for down ie. single push but for up you must keep your finger on the button.

A company called EL (Electric Life) Electric and claiming to be the "power window professionals" were advertising power window kits that look somewhat more substantial and modern than the Jaycar type in "Just Parts". Not in the current edition though so I am not sure if they are still in business. I have never used them so I make no claims. No prices or website but they gave their addresses as 2/90 Heathcote Rd Moorebank and 295 Sydney Rd Coburg. The also claimed to do exchange motors and other parts and bits.

I can find a USA reference see

I know of at least one car that is auto down and up.

My Toyota does auto up & down, it's a japanese import.

Do they auto-reverse on obstruction?

Cheers.

I don't know, in a few years of using it I haven't managed to stick any obstruction in the window....

Mine japanese, an rx7 but it's not an import

Rented a Volvo A50 while in Europe last year and it would auto-wind up any open windows when the central locking remote was used.

Dunno if the Aus imports of this model do the same.

There is a unit advertised in the Jaycar catalogue that winds up any 'down' electric windows when you hit the remote locking button

IIRC, the first jaycar unit to do this was next to useless. It would just trigger all the 'up' switches at once for a set amount of time, and people with older power windows that don't zip up in half a second, esp when all 4 are going, ended up with half-shut windows.

Have they put some kind of current trigger in them now to turn off individual windows when they're shut?

I have no experience of these - just saw them in the 2005 catalog and thought I'd pass the info along

I saw one of these on ebay the other night under car accessories.

Wouldn't that be a bitch in the rain?

My Subaru is and both my Skylines were as well.
