Can I put the top down with the windows up?

So after a long battle with the nj dmv I can finally drive my car again. It's my first convertible so I'm a noob. 2 days ago the front roller guide on my back window broke, luckily my window didn't break when it fell, I've got it all mounted and secure, but if I put the window down there's a very good chance it'll fall of track again. Would it be possible to disconnect the motor from the Window and still use the button to drop the top? Is putting the top down with windows up risky? My top seems to be lined up fine as well as the windows. Also any link to a diy/make your own guide roller would be great.
Thanks
 
I disconnected my top motor and I put the top down manually with the windows up ALL THE TIME!
I dont see why it would be a problem
 
Thanks for the reply, actually found a local guy today and already replaced the Window, $40 for Window and a key fob is a steal, I'm gonna go back and get the other back Window before he junks it just in case

Not to be ghetto but I worry this is going to happen again, my top is back, my windows are getting tinted, has anyone made a black piece that maybe sits on a rail and slides out to replace it? I never put the back windows down when the top is up so i thought this might be a option.
