I managed it with an 8" strip of steel (about 1/2" wide) with the bottom 1/2" bent up. it worked really well. I just needed to pull the clips far enough up so they didn't fall off. Then I could wind up the window and push them all the way up. Only workfs if you have a flange to attach them to i.e. it;s not rusted off!

A spoon with the handle bent into 3 sides of a rectangle does this job fine
