That's so funny you said "hopeing your window would work" - Everyday I get into my truck and think is today the day my window is going to shift forward and not want to work. LOL

I had a similar experience months ago while getting stopped for my license plate lights. they are both rusted and don't work so until i fix it I just shoved the broken rusted mess up inside. Both cops said they have never seen one and walked around it looking. Luckily I got a warning slip and not an equipment repair order. They also mentioned my front license plate (which I keep in the glove box). Told them the bracket was on backorder from Japan. Ha! I guess it's time to fix those damn lights eh.
