I got my car from my grandmother, who had it for 5 years before I did. She gave me a great deal, so when I discovered that the rear driver's side window didn't roll down I didn't care. I elected not to fix it since I don't roll the rear windows down very much anyway.
Fast forward 5 years: 3 weeks ago my passenger side rear window regulator went out with the window part way open (I noticed this in a downpour), replaced regulator and all is fine. Now yesterday I accidentally bumped the rear window switches instead of the front (I do this often, poor placement of the switch I think since the rears come readily to hand) and the rear driver's side window now works!
I tried it after replacing the other side's regulator and it didn't work. The only thing I came up with is that the car sat in ~100 degree heat for 8 days while I was out of town... maybe it loosened something up? Otherwise I'm at a loss to explain this.
