Gaptech RCH+ Module

I just installed the Gaptech RCH+ roof module on my E85. All I can say is whoa. I can now put down and raise the top from my remote key with the lock/unlock buttons. I can also put the top down with a single touch of the roof buttons (you no longer have to hold the buttons down). Probably one of the best mods I have done for my Z. Highly recommend it!

I installed 2 years ago, I love it!
Other than a few accidental presses when unlocking the car and the top starts opening in the middle of a rain storm, no problems at all.
Easy to fix tho, just press any key button to stop the process, while screaming "AAAAHHHH STOP IT!!!"

I've got SmartTop on mine. Either one of them is great and every roadster owner should have it. The one touch is so nice to have. The problem I have with mine is 2 clicks opens the windows too, so I run into an issue when I have a passenger and trying to get into the car while it's raining

Two clicks = windows down must be a feature of the SmartTop, huh? (Not so with the GapTech)
Would delaying the 2nd click for a second or two deactivate the sequence? (It does on the GapTech's functions)

Yeah if I click slow enough the windows don't go down. I find if I wait for the lights on the car to stop flashing before hitting unlock again it works. Unfortunately I haven't seen a setting to deactivate this
