Default Help please. Power window question

I am buying a 2002 z06 that had a dash fire. The windows are about halfway down...any way to get them up? Scared to power up the car with so much electrical damage.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks, Jimmy

Take the door panels off and apply power directly to the motors.

There is a really good youtube video on the R & R of the door panel for C5's.
