Default 2007 rx350 [Baby seat sun shades]

I bought a 2007 RX350 recently and need to attach pull down shades that have the plastic hooks that sit at the top of the glass (instead of using the suction cups that hold the shades but don't work well because the suction cups detach easily)
The window senses an obstruction from the clips that are at the top edge of the glass causing the window to move down automatically.
Is there some way to close the window with the shades attached using the clips instead of the suction cups. (clips are approx. 1/16th inch thick, u shaped and rest over the top edge of the window glass)
Thank you

I'm not sure if this will over ride the sensors at windows, but I was thinking; What if you unhooked your negative battery cable for 30 seconds with the windows cracked enough to install shades, then windows up and leave them. Then only reinitialise your front windows, moonroof, rear power door, radio, etc. Consult your manual for reinitialization of power items after battery disconnect. This may work, then again maybe not but seems to be one way to trick those windows.
