Window Motor or Switch?

[rsteinmetz70112]

To get it through state inspection, the motor doesn't need to work. The window only needs to be opened.

In my state they don't make you operate the window. I had a car with an broken driver and instead of rolling the window down I opened the door to hand the papers over. I've never had anyone check the passenger window.

In VA they do. I just saw them fail the guy in line in front of me 2 weeks ago for that very reason (& this is a very liberal inspection station).
