Lightheartedly, that could help me with limo black tints on as it a real issue in the dark!
Seriously though, three things.
1. Does it come back up on it’s own or do you have to raise it by the button ?
2. Does it happen every time you select reverse?
3. Have you been doing any other repairs on the car before it started?

Dont know the vehicle but i would be looking at the wiring to see if it had been chaffed by the gear selector.

If it goes back up on it’s own then it appears to be similar to the NS Door Mirror auto-drop on reverse command.
Isolation of the rear window being effective shows that the command to lower the window is the issue not the window mechanism.
It is spooky especially at this time of year but more likely to be caused by either control module failure or....damp! Can you get a diagnostic check to see if any codes are registered? Otherwise I would make sure all electronics are moisture free before spending any money. Others may think differently but that’s my starting point.

Does your 2003 have the auto dropping NS mirror? If so was it and does it now work correctly? It should drop to the floor and stay there all the time you have reverse selected.

Further thought on the mirror command, this function is switched on or off by the Left/Right mirror selection switch on the driver’s door. It is possible that either the switch is faulty or has been damaged by water and is passing current to the window. Worth a check.

It’s scary how often we have the same pattern. It’s as though Land Rover grossly underestimated the power required to maintain stable electrical systems.
I had the whole brake lights on flashing dash lights etc on my previous Range and had several weeks of disconnecting the battery every night before normal service was resumed. Needless to say I refused to disconnect it again once I had a daily driving car. Surely there is a seriously real way to prevent this stupidity. I hope someone smarter than me can let us all into the secret.
