Toggle switches are not appropriate for window function. You need momentary contact for up and down so that the motor doesn't continue to run after completing its travel.
What are you trying to accomplish? Maybe we can suggest an alternate solution.

If you really want to go aftermarket, you'll need DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) Momentary switches. Basically they are ON-OFF-ON rockers with two terminals for each position. You would connect the center (common) posts to the power and ground for the motor then put power and ground on posts at one end and the same but reversed at the other end.
You could also keep your windows up when it's raining to avoid the switches getting wet.
