Obviously you have an electric fault in the control circuit. Might be as sinple as a disrupted or jammed/chafed wire in one door.
Usually the control switches returns a chassis connection to activate the EW motor up or down. If one wire is chafed with a permanent chassis connction, the motor will stay jammed.
You will need to strip the offended door to look for any problem.

damage to the wirring is usualy between the door and the pillar inside the prottective sheath, as the wire is flexed every time you open/shut the doors

This is a only just a year old car, and a rear window. Broken wire seems very unlikley 8) Anyway, it's still under warranty - get it back to the dealer - it will be multiplexed, so electrical faults are in a different league to the old one wire for one job....
