I don't know about your particular car but we used to have a similar problem on our stretched limos. The windows had a safety feature which meant that if they we being operated and something stopped them from closing properly, They would stop. What actually happened was that there were 3 plastic rollers in the motor that were designed to break when this happened. All you had to do was get 3 new rollers and replace them yourself.

wiring problem more thank likely ,look on the maisey unit on the front left you have a large white plug pull it out and check if the pins in the board and the plug are burnt give the pins a slight bend clean them and push plug back on if it still does not go let me know and i can get it sorted.

Funny you say that, when I check fuses etc and move the wires about the windows come back again, thanks again will look into this.
