I have a problem with leaving my widow open and then it rains getting everything wet. I know they make rain sensors to turn on the wipers but i was wondering if I could connect it to a window roll up module or some how connect it so it has constant power and if it rains roll up the windows can I do that and if so do you know where I can buy a sensor?

Yeah you would probably have to buy window and moonroof modules (I think DEI makes some that would work,) the sensors themselves, and relays to activate the modules. Sounds like it would be too expensive to be worth it though, those modules arent cheap. And i have no idea where you would find those sensors.

i found window modules for the driver passenger windows on ebay for like $25-$30 not bad i still would have to sync them together to get the sun roof as well. But i looked for the rain sensors for like 15 min and all i could find were info on them and not for sale. i installed my window module it took two attempts but with Coomer's sticky it made it really easy.

Yeah I dont think I would want to leave anything open on my car. I would reccomend the Window module's so beep beep and your window rolls up.

This is a project I have been looking into for a while. I got a vert, and i want my top to close and windows to roll up. I dont care of the top is not latched, as long as its closed. It does not seem like a hard job to do. I have been up and down the internet looking for this sensor, and I might have to design one myself for I cant find one. I think pimp my ride used the sensor from the mercedes windshield wiper moduler. Tha would be the key, finding here the module is.

Doesn't the stock sunroof stop 1/3 the way and you have to hit the button again.
