Every once in a while, when I go to close my windows I'll push the window switch for it to go up and it will stop, or pause, at the halfway point and change direction.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

:helpme:Anyone have any problems with the automatic up / down windows not operating properly? Every once in a while, when I go to close my windows I'll push the window switch for it to go up and it will stop, or pause, at the halfway point and change direction. It will start to go the opposite way that I want it to go, and then when I push the window switch again it won't stay in the auto mode. I have to actually hold the switch in the direction I want it to go until it's fully closed or it will go in the opposite direction again. Drives me :crazy:crazy!

POST 2Original post

Mine had the window seal at the back edge of the door was cut. and the seal would jam the window. The windows have a safety that if there is to much resistance ( a hand, head or other body part) the window will go back down. The seal was replaced under warranty.

POST 3Original post

Your Owner's Manual describes a reset procedure that may cure that. (It has been discussed here before as well if you care to search it out.) Here are just a few: http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/30118-windows-going-down-themselves.html http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/25803-power-window-issue.html http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/25497-power-window-problem.html http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/13279-window-poltergeist.html http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-chat/6555-drivers-side-window-problem.html

POST 4Original post

Many users mentioned this, myself included. Look for "Window Poltergeist or Window Ghost" threads. Resetting helps, cleaning the felt track and the window itself helps. Mine is highly intermittent. BUT>>> I was told it is a software issue by a tech.
