Default Easy DIY to make back windows one touch?

When I bought my GTS I was surprised when I found out that not only do the back windows not go all the way down, but they're not one-touch operation either. I was wondering if there's an easy way to at least make them one-touch up/down. Anyone have a idea on how to do this if it's even possible? I doubt it would be as easy as replacing the rear switches with a front passenger door switch but it would be interesting to find out. Is the one touch functionality in the front door switches themselves or is it somewhere else deep in the bowels of the p!g?

Not that hard, you need to create a circuit that will have inline capacitors that will "charge" up and hold the up or down signal long enough for the window to complete its cycle.

So you need to calculate current required and how long the capacitor needs to last.

That should be enough info to get you started

Thanks for the idea but I'm not sure that would make them work exactly the same as the front windows, i.e. would they stop part way if you toggled the switch again? I was really hoping this was just a switch the switch deal but given the lack of response I'm guessing it's not. Oh well, would have been nice but not a big deal...
