Its a dry solder joint on the PCB in the window ecu - do a search loads of info on it - very easy to fix too if you have a soldering iron

Info on what could be wrong "Repair a Land Rover Discovery electric window ECU to make the rear windows open again"

I only open my window maybe once or twice a year to clean the glass edges other than that no need to, just the same for the sunroofs

I thought i had this problem too so tried to remove the ecu, but could önly get one connector off, sa put back together for another day. But 2 weeks ago i pressed the rear switch by mistake, and the rear went, down, triee all the rear window switches, and all working again. Self fixing car? Or bad connection on the ecu plug? You decide.
