i've got my favorite place I go to. they don't require reservations, and most every time I go, i'm getting safety check within 5 minutes. no, i'm not sharing where it is 
i did notice they started using ipads about 2 years ago. pictures are taken, and they said they had to be more strict due to the additional technology/checking/etc.
they always checked for lights, wipers, horns, and tire size. i took my truck which is pretty old, and it had one tire a different size. they noticed and said they couldn't pass it. no problem, went and bought a used tire the right size, had it installed, and was back within 2 hours to get it passed.
if your window is acting weird, put it up before you go. i've never had them ask about that. who knows what else they look for. whatever it is my car has always been ok.
it's a safety check - shouldn't we want everyone to pass these things? why would we want junk cars on the road? i've about had it with cars with no tail, brake or head lights around me. it's dangerous enough as it is around here without some cheap skate scumbag driving around with a dangerous vehicle threatening my safety.
fix your window anyway.
now if we could just get cops to start ticketing people for driving below the minimum speed limit. or driving slow in the fast lane.
