When you start upgrading to 30 amp cable it's unnessesary, as the original wire supplying the whole cars power can carry a max of 15 amps, so 30 amp is overkill just for the windows. I ran some 2.5mm 240V single core cable to supply the switches. And if a switch burns out under less than 15 amps of load, then there is a problem
(The 30 amp fuse allows both switches to operate at the same time, which means each individual switch can run at a max of 15 amps)

And yes I have had that problem too, I thought it was someone slamming the door too hard, but my mirror aims fully down too. Is that a common problem?
