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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just used this guide to repairing the regulator. My issue was that the window wouldn't quite drop enough to clear the trim when opening and closing the door. I don't think it's a stretched cable, more like a piece of plastic in the regulator fails leaving slack in the cable. Fixed with a brake cable adjuster from a bike. Works well. Link to guide below. http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-...-regulator-permanent-fix-stretched-cable.html
