Run power and ground wires directly from the battery to the motor connector. Switching the wires just makes the motor run in the other direction.

Make yourself a small jumper harness with alligator clips. Your power window motors are reverse polarity motors. You can put 12v directly to them and then reverse + and - and the motor should turn the other direction.
