How do Roll up the windows & Close the Sunroof w/o an Engine or Battery??

LOL

I guess I should have done this before I removed all the crap, *sigh* none the less, how would I go about closing the sunroof and rolling up the windows on my 7 with the engine and and everything that goes along with it out of the car?

Is it even possible?

THanks

Sunroof has a cap in the ceiling, remove cap and there's a crank in the car (Hex) or (Allen) that will close it for you... Windows... I'd borrow a battery and just hook it up for that purpose...

With the windows, just pop out the power window switch and get the shop manual. There should be two wires that go from the power window switch to the window motor. Hook up a battery to those two. If you reverse the polarity, the motor will go the other way - one way is down, the other is up.

I've done this to countless 2nd gens and a friends' 3rd gen whose window switch broke (disintegrated, really) with the window down.

Yeah, easiest way to do the sunroof is to use the manual crank.

What I would do is just duct tape plastic over it. That is even easier than hooking up the battery.

LOL! I did this in my eclipse when a twig got stuck in the sunroof. It wouldn't close all the way. It was raining. Duct tape worked like a charm.
