Weirdly behaving windows

Hi - can anyone help me with what might be wrong with my 02 Mini Cooper? The alarm went off at 5am on Sunday morning, for no apparent reason. I unlocked it with the key fob, locked it again with the key fob and all was fine. At 4.40am on Monday morning (today) the alarm went off again - I did the same thing, and it didn't do it again. But when I drove the car for the second time today, all of a sudden the driver window started to move up & down, like it does when you open the door to get in/out and then close the door - the window moves down slightly & then up to close. It was doing that whilst I was driving along, almost continually. I got to work and parked the car, stopped the engine - windows still doing the same thing. Took the key out of the ignition - windows still doing it. Got out of the car - windows still doing it. Locked the car and of course the alarm went off - so at least that probably explains why the alarm went off before. When I unlocked it with the key and locked it again, the windows stopped moving, and now haven't done it since (now 5 hours later), and I have unlocked, opened and locked the car a couple of times since. There is no sign of any water in the footwell, and the window works properly. I can't find any information on resetting the windows in the user manual, as some people here have mentioned, but I opened the window, closed it and then held the toggle up for 10 secs.

Does anyone have any idea what caused this?

Thanks
