Had a clifford concept 650 mk2 alarm fitted to my car late last year, after the guy fitted it he told me to come back so he could sort out the total closure as the passenger side window didnt go up and the drivers window went up slightly and then the alarm would just go off.
I did go back to the company that fitted it and the guy who fitted it, he wasn't all there tbh, I think he has a few personal issues and money issues and I generally don't want to take the car back there.
So Im looking to fix my total closure problem myself, I know people don't rate clifford alarms but other than the total closure problem its been spot on for me so far.
Is this the sort of thing I need?

And anyone got a link or some advice on how to fit it if it is what I need?
Cheers for the help

Spotted this on LMF aswell
LMF Link
Not sure it this could work with the clifford system though, only mentions about working with the deadlock on standard alarm.

Dont' touch that LMF product with a long-un... all that's in that box is some sort of timer and a relay.
The Clifford's already got variable timer outputs so assuming it's for the Astra, you shouldn't need anything else other than a relay.
Test the car by leaving the windows down and locking it with the key (physically in the door).. hold the key in the locked position and both windows should close.
Once you're happy, take a relay and connect it like this:
+12v to 85
Clifford output to 86
-ve to 30
Astra lock wire to 87
All the wires can be found if you locate the Clifford brain... the lock wire and power/earth will already be connected to it.
If you're gonna use the Clifford's 12v supply, make sure you use the one that's fused with the 20amp fuse, not the 5amp, otherwise you'll turn the alarm off if there's a problem. Probably best though to fuse it independantly.
For wire colours, I believe the 650 has them stamped on the back of the plastic body of the brain.. if not, PM me and I'll digg the guide out.
You'll then need to program whichever output you have chosen to operate the lock wire for however many seconds it takes to close the windows.
If I remember correctly there is an output that can be activated as the alarm arms but I can't remember without checking the guides... it's been a while since I did one now
