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

My 2000 Carrera rear driver side window stopped working. While trying to get the window to go up I heard what sounded like a piece of plastic fall from the window regulator area. First thing I need to do is remove the hard top then expose the mechanism to see what broke. I�m going to research this problem extensively prior to diving in. Does anyone have any insight on this issue that they could share? The quoted price I�ve seen online to repair at the dealer is in excess of $1,400. Apparently there is a rebuild kit on eBay for about $35. Assuming my regulator is still good I�m hoping I can keep costs down. Won�t know until I open her up. Wish me luck.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well I extensively researched the project. There are a lot of videos and detailed instructions on how to remove the regulator. I went so far as to remove the side panel/trim. At which point I decided to have Dave at TRE do it. I gave him a call and he said �yea we do a lot of those.� Hata off those who tackle this problem themselves.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There is a lot of information how to DIY the problem with the rear window regulator. Unfortunately the regulator is NLA. After removing the rear side panel trim I realized the job was going to be too difficult for me so I took the car to TRE Motorsports. Dave told me they need to adapt the rear window regulator from a 997 to my 996. The repair required some creative ability, but after all was said and done the job got done right, quickly and it wasn’t as expensive as I expected. . . .now I’m off to deal with the issue with my Cayenne.
