Can anyone tell me how I can roll down my power windows on my 1988 convertible when they are not operating under power?

Is there a way to do it manually?

You can unbolt the motor, push the window down then bolt the motor back in. You can also jump the switch at the connection with a hot wire and ground wire. What are you trying to accomplish?

I am simply trying to get all four windows down. Front driver and passenger and rear quarters so I can work on other restroration a bit easier until I detemine the issue with the power windows.

The drivers side switch has all 4 on one switch connector, if they don't power down the you likely will be taking the motors out. They probably need new pucks anyway.
