Can I manually put up power windows?

[VTJosh]

My new Camaro has power windows but both motors are shot. The passenger side is up all the way but the driver is down a couple of inches. I plan on repairing both but for now(because of all the rain) I'd like to take the panel off and see if I can manually put it up all the way. How would I go about this. I'm sure I'd figure it out when the panels off but I'm picking the car up in a couple of hours and any info before then would be great.

The windows work on a scissor type assembly. The wheel on the motor is what keeps it in place. I suppose if you turned the wheel on the motor by hand, which might not be too easy, you could do it.

you cant just pull the window up by hand? And if not, you should be able to pull up while you press the button to get it up

They're pretty difficult to put up by hand, but as someone else said... unless the motors are completely fried, you should be able to lift up while pushing the button

Alright, never got around too actually working on it but I'll give that a try tommorrow. I did pull on it slightly but it didn't budge.
