	My '89 90Q does this too, same window.
	It's related to the rear window lockout
	switch at the driver's door.  When I select
	and deselect that switch, the RR window
	switch light blinks on and off intermittently.
	It's probably dirty contacts in the lockout
	switch; I just haven't gotten around to pulling
	the switch and cleaning it yet.  Have to do
	that soon though, cause my sunroof stop
	switch is flaking out again too, causing
	attempted overextension of the sunroof in
	tilt mode and loss of open/closed registration.
	Time to break out the Cramolin contact cleaner!
