Hi All,

First post, my window on the passenger side won't close. After reading quite a few posts, I have tried;

- Switching the driver side switches around - still no luck
- There is no clicking sound / so doesn't appear to be stuck
- I have checked the wiring to make sure they are still connected and but will say my next job is to get a 12v tester and see if cables are faulty?

Appreciate any advice anyone may have?

I did read there is a manual way to wind up the window - so at least I can close it for now, though it appears I am missing that hex tool per the porsche manual - anyone know what the Hex tool size so I can get a replacement one in the interim?


Thanks in advance

 

Allen key, 4 or 5 MM. Quite deep in the motor axle.

 

There was someone on Rennlist who posted about the "thump method", can't find the post though:

Just give the interior panel around the area where the window motor sits a nice thump. Sometimes this helps unblocking the motor mechanism (it did for me actually).

 

Yes thump works. Did not tell me where the issue was though.

 

Pretty sure it's a 4mm hex

 

My passenger window was doing that and I use the thump method and seemed to work to raise it up. I did replace the motor about 5 yrs ago. I haven't looked yet but that might be a place for you to start

 

Thump method has worked for me a couple of times. Is the culprit a motor going bad?

 

thanks all - gort the hex tool and did the manual unwind tool.

You actually need a long one in order to reach
