Roll up Window - URGENT!!!

I shipped my CAS3 module and replacement ECU to be programmed and synced, and they won't get here till Wednesday. When I open the door, it lowers the window down about 1/4 inch each time. It's currently about two inches down, and there are rain clouds in the sky. Any idea how I can manually roll the window up? The CAS3 module is not installed, so there's no way to get the car electronics to turn on.

My leather seats thank you ahead of time for the help!!!

Hold the window switch in the up position for about ten seconds and release. The window should dip and raise back up a quarter inch to indicate that is pinch sensor has reset.

If that doesn't work, try all the way down, hold there for 10 seconds, then all the way back up (as far as it goes) and hold for 10 seconds.

Had this same thing happen on my 2009 Clubman.

pull the door panel and directly feed the motor. 12v is all you need. once done, disconnect the battery. that should have been done when you took the modules out and never reconnected.

Neither of those worked. I taped a bag over the crack and that did the job. Was already sprinkling so didn't want to take off the door card.

Next question: how do I open the trunk? Is there any kind of manual release? I've heard there's one under the rear passenger seat but I don't see one.

Change to your car if different.

Suck, I don't think there is any way to open mine. I think mine is 3/2008. I was planning on upgrading speakers and amp with new Rockford Fosgate ones since I had the dash out anyway. I did the four door speakers but I guess I'll just have to wait on the back speakers and amp... :(
