It could definitely be a faulty safety switch.  I experienced the same
thing in my '87 5k.  Unfortunately the shape and design of my car results,
in wet weather situations, in water falling directly on the window/mirror
switch assy if the window is open even slightly.  Switches go bad
eventually from wear anyway, but I suspect this ultimately shortens their
lifespan.  Everyone gets caught with their windows open at the wrong time
at *some* point.
