I need to put the windows up its a '92 hatch. The car is just a rolling chassis so there is not much to work with. Is there a way i can take the door skin off and hook up some type of battery right to the motor it’s self??

yes

you can run 12v direct to the motor’s harness… you just gotta figure out which pins to connect

follow the leads from the window motor -there is a 2 connector plug-disconnect and apply 12V DC -to move window in opposite direction reverse the + and - wires from your 12V source - I use a spare connector wired to a small 12V battery to make it easy

yea if you have em on the wrong way then it will either roll the windows up or down,

if they roll down, switch sides then they should roll up
