Default Power window MOD

Ok I have a 98 Formula and I really like how you can just tap the drivers side power window once and it will go all the way down. What I dont like is it only does it for the drivers side and only down. Is there a way to modify the power window switches so that both sides go all the way down when the buttons are tapped and also both sides go all the way up when the buttons are tapped. I hope I am making sense because I am sure someone has done this before and it can't be that difficult. Thanks for any help you guys might be able to provide me

Someone MUST have done it. It seems too practical to have never been done when so many pointless things have...

I believe I have what you are looking for. I know it does one touch down on both, I will have to check on the up part.
I have the link at my work computer.

They make a kit to do this. A buddy of mine did his 96 WS6 back in 1998. He bought the parts from Rickwood Radio in Birmingham, Alabama. Go to yp.yahoo.com and look up their phone number. Give them a call and ask them about it. Once you know what it is, you can find it locally or on the internet. I'm fairly certain it was a kit, but it may have just been the parts. Either way, he had it so that he could express up OR down EITHER window and it would raise the windows when you armed the alarm or lower them using an input from the Viper alarm remote.
