Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
You could always disconnect the battery for say 15 minutes and then try again.
Leading evidence: 'Disconnect battery' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Disconnect battery' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
If the reset fails to fix the problem, I would almost bet that it is just as I described.

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.

My windows are starting to screw up. About half of the time they do not automatically lower slightly when I open the door and then the glass is too high to close the door without it banging into the rain channel at the top of the window. I find myself closing the door by pushing the upper rear corner of the glass so it won't hit the rain channel or if getting in, I lower the window manually before closing the door. What a pain in the rear!
Any insight into this problem? Anyone else had this happen? My wife's '03 Boxster S has started doing this on the pass. side only. Please help!
I'm not sure...but I think you can reset them. I believe you put them all the way down and hold the button in the down position (or it might be the up postition). Give it a shot. You could always disconnect the battery for say 15 minutes and then try again.
Try re-teaching the window.
1. Press and hold button until the window is all the way up - then hold 10 seconds.
2. Do the same to bring the windows down - again hold for 10 seconds.
3. Test the the one-push open and close.
If that does not do it then it sounds like you have a bad microswitch in the door handle. When you lift the handle the window should drop about 1/2 inch.
Thanks! I'll give it a try with the "re-teaching". It does seem to screw up intermittenly, so I suspect it may be a bad switch. Thanks again for the help.
Perhaps you're battery is on the fritz as well? In my old Boxster when my car battery was getting a bit weak before finally dying, the window behavior was as you described.
If the motor makes a sound like it is trying to drop the window, but it just does not drop enough, you need a new window regulator. What happens is that the regulator cables get stretched and sloppy and when the motor tries to move the window 1/2", it just takes up the slop. The window will work fine otherwise. If the reset fails to fix the problem, I would almost bet that it is just as I described. The part is about $160.00 through one of the Rennlist sponsors. Hope the reset fixes yuour problem though. Good Luck.
