I have already seen people using a shoelace going through the quarter-window instead of wiping it with their arms. Other thing that I have already seen a lot are cars originally fitted with 2 wiper arms using only one, mostly Volkswagens.

I've already seen similar approaches in order to either bypass the automatic control of glowplugs or to activate the engine-off solenoid in Diesel trucks.

when rolling down the electric windows is a two-handed affair that involves hitting the door panel with your elbow

Not hitting the door panel with the elbow, but holding the glass and trying to keep it from falling out of its allignment.
