I’m sure this has been discussed but the search didn’t help me so here goes.
Is there a way to have the window all the way up with the door open? I’m trying to clean the window sticker residue off the passenger side window and the window opens slightly when the door is open as we all know. I understand why it does this but I need it up all the way to clean the very bottom of the glass. What’s the trick???

Disconnect the battery with the door closed.

Use a good sized screwdriver to latch the door while it's open and the window will go up. Don't forget to "open" the door before closing it.

This, but forget the screwdriver - it’s easy to do with your fingers and they have zero possibility of adding unwanted scratches :like:

Make sure latch pops down again, mine needs just a little help whilst I lift the handle with the other hand :like:

It's not easy being old school. I looked at an 08 GT a dozen years ago thinking about replacing the 03 Terminator, and just about blew a gasket when I saw the window drop when the door opened. That and one switch for both back windows on a convertible???? WTF???!! I overlooked all that for the 16 GT cuz it had a blower on it....lol

Get inside, close the door/window and clean.
Glad someone else thinks this. Cleaning with the door closed has to be the easiest route, no?

Difficult, when in my case I wanted to clean the line of what appears to be silicone grease on the back corner of the window (behind your shoulder) :like: :
