Default Will Honda install additional relay?

My car is at the dealership today and I'm wondering if they will install the driver's side window relay on the passenger side, allowing the passenger side window to "auto-down"

Anyone tried this or know if it would work? Any guesses on the chance that Honda will or will not do this?

Why give your passenger all the convenience?

Why not?
It has auto-down when you put the top down, so I'm not sure why they didn't just use the same relay....

They won't fix it if it ain't broke. Replacing the regulator means tearing apart the door panel and removing the glass, not exactly a repair they do lightly.

Probably the same reason why you can't unlock the passenger door after you are in the car from the driver side switch. You have to reach over which is dumb.

It's not just a plug-and-play thing so it's not going to happen! Even it was plug-and-play then I still doubt they would do that for you.

It's not just a relay. The window switch is different. The left switch goes part way and then you overcome some resistance and push it further for auto-down. This undoubtedly means an extra switch contact which means an extra wire would have to be run, etc. In other words not a simple job.
