Elec windows are a common problem on these, ie they fail at some point..I've had to fix all four of mine.
A mistake i think with these things is not' to use them! then one day you do and presto, no worky..so, they might simply be stuck if your just hearing a click coming from the actual door..

yh maybe so as the sound is from the unit itself. Was going to take the door card off and clean around the window and runner ect. But just not had the time today. Only just sorted one at the front out. So will see when i end up doing it.

Don't give up on it..the motors do fail but not often, usually it's the window regulator mechanism..or wiring/through the rubber boot door-pillar..or the actual switch.

My drivers rear is the same, but since i have the lock on it to stop the kids for hanging out and throwing stuff at predestians it's quite low on my list of things to do
