Window not coming down when opening the door
#16
Thank you all. Just FYI it was the regulator that was bad. I had shop install. I think he robbed me. Paid 200.00 (from Porsche) for part and 360.00 to install. That was 4 hours of labor at 90.00 per hour. I think it should have been like 2.5 hrs but oh well at least I can open and close my window and door.

I've got this exact problem on my '02 996. Driver's side window goes up and down fully and normally via the window control, but the slight tick down on opening the door and closing the door is not working.
To be clear, if I open the door from the inside or outside does not matter, the slight tick down does not happen. However, if I gently push the window down, then close the door, the slight tick up DOES happen. So, whatever mechanism causes the slight tick down from inside or outside seems to be the culprit.

They're jacking you up on the part price...They're paying $125. The labor is close - obviously much cheaper (i.e. $0) if you do it yourself, but that's your call - it's a 1 hr. job, but the devil is in the details - if you trust the mechanic all's good.
