I believe (and I may be wrong on this one) that those sensors are there on power windows regardless to avoid injury.

According to my MA it is not. Only the 2008's have pinch protection. Hence, although auto-up could be dealer programed for 2007's, you'll have one heck of a time getting one to.

Perhaps I'll go out to my MINI and see if those sensors are in fact there or not...
