Raising Power Window Manually?

Hi guys,
I've started working on my firebird project again and am in the process of sanding the doors and welding in some new lower skins. BUT, the windows are power and they are down. Need to get them up so I can get the door handle and lock cylinder out, plus I'm going to be welding on the doors and I would think it would be better if the windows were extended and not in the immediate area of where I'm welding. I don't need to take the windows out, just raise them. Any way I can do this manually?
Thanks
Alex

Are the power motors still in the door? Use any 12v battery to the two pins on the motor, one polarity goes up, the other goes down.
