Auto close anyone?

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone had heard of an aftermarket product that you could plug in/attach to the mini, so that when you locked your car the windows and sunroof would automaticly close? I have seen it in other cars but was wondering if there was anything out there for minis. Thank

Ive been looking for the same for my Countryman, miss it from my old cars! With the SEAT Leon I had, if you had sunroof,(which I didn't then) and auto wipers, if it rained with roof open it would shut it!

I have found out since, that you can open your windows and sunroof (If you have one) by pressing and holding the key fob open button. ( Keep pressing and holding to open the more you want), and you are able to close the windows and sunroof by using the actual key in the lock, by locking and holding the key in the lock position, but still nothing so that it will do this automatically. The search continues.

There is an aftermarket fitting option that someone on here devised (including some rewiring) but I cant find the thread just now. Hopefully someone will be along shortly who can help. Needless to say without modification the fob works as Dave described it above. Apparently it is for saftey reasons that the windows dont auto close on locking as they dont have a sensor to stop them if a stray arm or head gets in the way (hard to believe - someone test it from inside the car at the wknd!).
