Default Window fiasco

Is there any way to manually roll up the windows on a 98 range rover? I need to get them up until I can get it fixed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

probably have to open the side of the door up and manually push it up. See if you can apply direct power to the window motor to get it to go up, that would be the easiest way, granted the motor is still good.

Is it a power issue or is it a track issue? That will help us out in figuring out what to do.

Basicily NO.
If the motor is bad or the regulator is broken chance are slim you will get it up.

If it is a track issue he can take off the inside door panel and manually lift the window while someone else operates the switch.

If you took the motor/rugulator off could he not manually move the arm in the right direction? I did not look at that the last time I was in there but it may work for him for a short fix. Although once it is up then how would he keep it up if the motor was not in there?
