Power Window issue

My daughter has a 1998 3.5RL, built in Japan, all metric dash etc.
Recently her left rear window stopped going up. no problem going down, but won't go back up. About 2 weeks later the right side rear window started doing the same thing. I've tried both the door switch and the master switch, nothing. Do the '98's require a software reset like the newer ones and could this be the issue? Or I suppose since they both failed within weeks of each other that it could be the regulators-the car has 253km on it (about 160K mi)
Any suggestions?

Sounds like the window regulators to me.

Does it sound like the motors are working when you activate the swicthes?

Agree with the replies above I recently replaced mine (left rear window) I got it from 1aauto.com it cost me about $150 pretty easy to do just follow the diy sticky at top of the rl section.
