one problem I hadn't considered when thinking about these for a while, no capability to open the passenger window from the drivers side.. without some other switch to control which window the switch is connected to..

I saw these on Two Guys Garage this weekend. They do make a relay so you can mount a switch under the dash or that will allow you to control the pass side with the driver side lever. The one they were using was the round switch.
It was a good episode, walked you through installing bear claw latches too.
too slow, you beat me to it!!!!!!

there are relays with 5 pins (SPDT) as well as 4 (SPST).
http://www.the12volt.com/relays/relays.asp
2 are the power/ground to activate the switch (85/86)
2 are the source and dest of the circuit being switched (30/87)
and the extra is the un-switched output (87a)
so, when power is applied(85/86), the coil triggers, closing the circuit.
what happens the rest of the time? Nothing, the circuit is open.
but in the case here, you want the switch to control the drivers side window
(by default), and you want it to control the other window when activated
Think of this as a Y.. comes in on one leg(30) and either goes left (default, 87a), or right (switched, 87).. the cool thing is when you un-power the relay, then it re-enables the default circuit..(30->87a)
the simple relay (SPST) only is a single circuit, on or off..

I looked those up but couldn't find a price! How much are they?

switch, 'autoloc window switch' google search returns choices from $80 to over $100 for the pair.
