Default Power window...again!

Okay guys I need some help. My wife's Mini (2003) has had a persistent problem with her windows. When the temperature rises above 80 degrees, both of her windows cease to operate. During the fall and winter, her windows both work fine!

About a year ago, her driver's window came off the track and had to be fixed. The fix worked, but again, when summer rolled around, the window ceased to operate.

I do hear the "click" when flipping the switch, as was stated in the posts I found about this in my initial search. But none of them mentioned the specific temperamental temperature problems!

What is going on? What do I need to do to fix it?

You might have a temp sensitive relay contacts .... I'd try a cooling spray on it when it acts up , or swapping the relay
