Chris: The Driver's side window on our 2000 Xplorer stopped working during a trip to Colorado in 2010. What a pain! In order to get it to stay up we had to tape it with Duct tape. Found out that Gorilla Glue Duct tape works the best.
It stopped working after a heavy rainstorm.
When we returned home our local auto service place installed a new motor. The passenger side motor seemed slow so we also had that replaced. Now it runs very slowly when it is damp out (not very often down here during the drought). I am careful not to use it when it is misty or raining. Other than that it goes up and down smoothly for me.
Our rear window was sealed by a Class B dealer (service department) about 7-8 years ago after it leaked. When driving through exceptionally heavy rains we sometimes notice moisture.
Haven't used our van for any trips lately...hope to resume again in the fall.
Hope this helps somewhat.
