I had the power window module on my last car, you need one for ever 2 windows, one for the left side, one for the right side and one for the sunroof. They work really well, very cool. I pissed off some guy w/ a jetta that was like hey look i can roll down my windows when I stick the key in. I was like hey look at that car across the parking lot, I can roll them down via remote Maybe this is a blessing, but shortly after they were installed the drivers side window switch stopped working, but I could still roll it up and down The ones I got were made by DEI running off a viper 800esp

Re: Re: I have 2

I keep thinking about that, except I have a slightly sticky sunroof. The trunk release is easy, and the windows are definitely doable.

That's really strange. I'm still operating on the single GP 27A cell I bought three years ago.

Yeah, but not everybody has the luxury of not driving the car for a month at a time.

... and now for an educational moment.

A History of Giving the Finger!

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating
victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting in the future.
This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").
Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!"
Over the years some 'folk etymologies' have grown up around this symbolic gesture. Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say (like "pleasant mother pheasant plucker," which is who you had to go to for the feathers used on the arrows for the longbow), the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."

And y'all thought yew knew everything!

All's I can say is that it's a darned good thing they didn't use blow darts. I'd hate to get shot at for poking my tongue out at someone.
