This shop is talking out of their ass. The small window is fixed and does not raise or lower.
It also won't blow out the window to close without rolling down, otherwise cars with fully framed windows that are closed would be shattering them left and right. This is handled by hidden vents that allow the cabin pressure to equalize with the external air pressure, and the worst that would happen if these didn't exist is the door won't close fully due to the air pressure pushing it back open.
My bet? Someone smashed the window to open the door because they didn't think through their actions and options.
In the end, the car was under their care, and the shop should foot the bill. Don't take possession of the car until you've documented the damage. If the shop is fighting back, time to file a police report and an insurance claim and let them duke it out with the shop's insurance.
