This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi everyone My drivers side window started acting up... When it happened first it seemed like the window was trying to close and Makes sounds like a grating/ crunching as if something has got disconnected. I ended up pulling window up by hand and leaving it there. When I use switch now I can hear motor but there is no action. First thought was to dig in and take panel off and get a look. Is there a good link to guide to get it right? Thanks

POST 5Original post

Mine did that on the passenger side. Replaced the operator. I got one online at 1A Auto. It was the best price. OEM is crazy price.

POST 6Original post

I literally just finished replacing my passenger side window regulator the other night for the second time. I made the mistake of throwing in a used window regulator the first time. Very simple and takes no longer than an hour. here's a nice write-up from Pelican http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/77-BODY-Window_Regulator/77-BODY-Window_Regulator.htm
