Yeah check the electrical plug that connects to the wind regulator motor, the wiring is fairly tight and can pull the plug to an angle which affects the connection. Usually slamming the door while selecting the up or down switch and the motor works is a symptom, will then work for a while but you have to remove the door trim and check the connection.

yep...
if the panel was off its easy to get the harness messed up..its a close fit and things get hung up and pulled apart. Also make sure the glass is not binding against the rattle pads or top seals.
