check fuses windows and sunroof work of interior light circuit when doors are open and ignition is off
when the doors are closed they switch from the fuse can't remember which one

HAHA!
I posted a very similar thread last week. It drove me bananas, going down the M1 with the sunroof and both windows open... it was bloody freezing!
Yep it was fuse 17. It had blown a little so sometimes when i went over a bump the windows/sunroof would work again for a short while.

My fuse 17 blows reguarly, sometimes not for 2-3 months then almost daily. Will get to bottom of it someday but for now ive got a boot full of spare 3oamp fuses.

Mine was caused by a dodgy window switch,replaced it and it hasn't blown since

Metal foil/paperclip/pin slipped down inside of it. Easily dismantled and removed.
