The DCM (door control module) is susceptible to water damage. You will need to have it replaced.

Are you off warranty? They would probably fix it since leaving a window open is not normally considered abuse. You could also claim that the window seal should protect the inside of the door.

The DCM is not that expensive check with your parts and then try a few dealers around they usually differ in prices for some reason. It's around 400ish for the part maybe less. very easy to change.

First I'd do what whoover said.
