Default Tinting Side Windows, Interesting Issue

I recently took the tint off my side windows because it came (used) with 5% "limo" tint all around. I failed two state inspections and besides that I really didn't feel safe at night. I've tinted before and the vette side windows are not framed in so it should be easy to do them but while taking off the limo tint I started to think about how the windows roll down to get under the roof lip when you open the door. Is there a way to make them roll all the way back up so I can make sure I don't miss the last 1/2" or so of the window?

You can disconnect the battery so that the car loses its indexing feature and then re-index it when done or you can put something in the door that makes the car think the door is closed.

Open the door and take your hand and pull up on the latch where the door close and it will make the window go up like if the door is close and when you are done just push the button on the door and it will go back down.
Good luck
