If the lines you are taping into are just the existing switch signal lines, and not power to the motors it should behave the same as the roof switch before the mod.

Since the existing switch is a rocker you can't press the open and close at the same time so I guess that is an experiment you will have to explore.

To be safe though you may have to have each side of the rocker perform 2 functions. Activate the one relay and de-activate the other relay simultaneously.

Perhaps there are BOTH "Normally Open" NO and "Normally Closed" NC contacts on each relay that could be used to deactivate the other relay when one is activated. Need to look at the schematic and think through the scenarios.

Do you have the schematic for the relay pinouts and how you have them wired to the rocker?
