Hello, Jamison here. It can be done, BUT, Its nearly impossible, EVEN FOR A MECHANIC. I have to disagree. I've done it many times for folks who cannot afford a complete repair. Usually, the reguator,or the lifting mechanism has broken or become disconnected. A temporary quick fix I have done requires that the door interior trim panel be removed for access to the window and its lifting mechanism. Once into the door, I manually lift the window back up to the closed position. Then using an already prepared WOOD WEDGE, I insert the wedge to "capture" the window. Over time and vibration, and bumps, the wedge may slip, allowing the window to fall back into the door. That's why I call this a temporary fix. I have also used one of those rubberlike/plastic household door wedges which seems to "grip" better. Although I've never done it, it should also be possible "prop" the raised window in position with a piece of wood/lumber [as a 2x4] if cut to the proper length. Oops, I forgot about the fact that the linkage may not be broken. If the linkage is intact, but the motor is "dead," then to manually raise the window, the linkage must be seperated. If it's not possible to open the linkage somewhere [as for example in some older Fords where the motor is attached directly to the regulator via a wormdrive gearbox], then simply remove the motor from the transmission/regulator assembly.j3h.
