Auto Sunroof Button???

So I am trying to think of ways to make the sunroof button auto(just like our driver side window going down).

The only way I have thought on how to do it is the button itself. Maybe getting a a switch from another vehicle that has an auto sunroof and just relocating it somewhere else in the car.

Anyone do this or have any thoughts?

I liked this feature in my Z24, surprised they didn't carry it over.

AFAIK, in order to do it, you would need essentially the equivalent of a load-sensing switch, like they have on auto-up windows, so that it is able to tell when the sunroof as at the end of its track, and then wire it up so that it supplies power to the switch for (length of time needed to open sunroof) + like 1 second or something to account for variables.
