The problem, as I see it, here is that so many window lift control modules are part of the door outstation itself, so not an easy task to test the window motor on its own. You really do need to be able to test as much of the door electrical infrastructure as possible, otherwise you are only getting half the story.
For example, the Mercedes R171 will not work after water has ingressed

In practice, I think the length of time it takes for things to stop working will depend very much on how quickly the air can exit the areas where the control units are: If the control units are in the door, it may take a short while for the door itself to fill up with water when the car is suddenly immersed. I suspect in most cases the motors themselves will work underwater almost undefinitely; it's the electronic components (chips, transistors and other semiconductors) that won't. The electronics might be close to the motor or far away.
