Well snail the only problem I see with your idea is you would lose the auto down feature. I've looked into this before but never committed to it. The way the auto down works is there is a little arm on the actual switch. When you push down on the button it slides this arm down which keeps the circuit open until the window is down. Problem with making it work opposite would require you to essentially switch the position of the switch to where when you pull the button up it pushes the arm up instead of down. I'm not sure that it would function like that.

However, if you desolder the passenger side window switch that is on the driver side you might be able to add another switch like the driver side window switch and add the auto down feature. I'll see if I can get a driver side combo switch this weekend and work on it

Honestly that idea was a great one.

Things I already have are:

1. Headrest screens

2. Full LED conversion

3. Leds in the Vents

4. Upgraded sound system and touchscreen DVD player

5. Media storage setup (500 gb Hard drive hooked up to HU)

Shoot me a PM with the cost for changing the hvac and stock radio LEDs to red (leaving the temp LEDs how they are so the color for cold is still blue), I'll probably eventually have all the other buttons (steering wheel, traction, windows) but I don't have spares of those right now

Possibly, Im going to see if I can do just the auto down for both windows by dissecting a combo switch and adding the driver switch from one to the other and see if that works. If I have room on the switch board. If not ill explore this option and write a how to and review
