Default One touch open/close sliding rear window?

Is there anything on the aftermarket for this? There has to be something.

It's kinda useless that I can one touch open my sunroof but have to hold the button for the rear window.

the only thing that may be an issue is auto close window have a sensor to detect obstructions like arms, fingers, dog noses etc... if they get in the way of the window during closing action. hence, youd probably have to change the motor out as well.

There are no sensors involved in auto up/down, it's a measure of resistance in the wiring caused by increased load. I've added auto down and auto up to car windows that didn't have it before using the factory motors and wiring.

The biggest problem I see is making the mechanical connection between a different motor and the one that's there, as already noted the auto sense etc is built into the motors electronics.

The motor is mounted to the back wall behind the rear seat back and uses a similar cable operated regulator as the door windows.



Make an auto window motor fit that regulator and problem solved.

Seriously, $52 for an auto down module? Go to a salvage yard and find a late 90s taurus or sable. Rip out the door panel and cut out the small box attached to the window switch, its the auto down module. I pilfered about 10 of them in one day at a cost of $2 each and sold them for $15.

Even though most of the new electronic gizmos in our trucks are based off of a logic based system, where every component is run through a CAN-BUS, some of the simple stuff, like window switches are pretty basic.

Can't remember the name of it but that Explorer looking truck with the pickup bed had the one touch rear window, but only half way down, to go all the way down required constant hold of the switch.

1st world problems suck.
