NO key for 87 TurboII and need the window down

Ok, im on my brothers acount, but i know this chick that has an 87 Rx7 Turbo II.
Well she lost the only key she has, and the windows are up. The car has been sitting for about 1 1/2 years, has no battery. I went to a locksmith and they said i would have to take the Passenger side lock cylinder out to get the code to cut a key.

Well, the bolt i have to get to that you have to roll down the window i cant get to...so thats my problem.
So heres another thing...for some reason the wires are cut for the power window switch.
I was wondering if i could just get a long wire and run it from my speaker or something and touch it to the window switch wires and try and roll the window down that way. I dont think runing a small wire from the battery would be such a great idea..
And if i have to take the window out...anyone wanna tell me how to go about that?

Please anyone that has any advice chime in here.
Thank you

Mazda dealerships can cut keys based on your VIN number. You'll probably have to show that you are the owner.

If you look in the FSM, you can find a wiring diagram for the car. Basically, you apply ground to one wire and 12 V to another to roll it down, 12V to a diff wire to make it go up. Sorry that I don't remember the wire colors, but I've done it before in d similar situation and it works.

Edit: You can also take the cylinder from the hatch lock, he should be able to make a key from it.

take out your battery and use 2 wires and connect each to each end of the window motor connector and the window will either roll up or down, switch ends on the battery and it will go the opposite direction (reversing the polarity) i have done this before. actually you need to take the entire glass out to get to the other nut to take out the door handle

well he told me it has to be the passenger lock cylinder as it has a code that he can look up and cut a key.

SO i HAVE to take the glass out?
Cuz i read on here that for one bolt you have to have the window up and the other bolt you have to have the window down.
