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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

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

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This issue relates to the feature that automatically drops the driver window a 1/4 inch when you open the door and puts it back up for a good seal a split second after the door closes. All of a sudden I've noticed that as soon as I let go of the door handle, the window goes back up so that when you close the door, it doesn't seat properly. I then have to drop and re-close the window. Anyone run into this before ? Is there a way to reset the settings or do you think a relay is defective ? Thanks in advance. Ramp.

POST 2Original post

Is your battery low? I have seen this problem on my 986 with a dying battery.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I don't think so. No other issues and the alt gauge is indicating norm.

POST 4Original post

I've also seen issues with the window dropping when the battery was a bit low...but I guess maybe it's not the case here

POST 5Original post

I too have this issue. I took it to my indie shop and they "re-calibrated" or "synchronized" the windows and it got a bit better. But I still get it from time to time. When I take the car back for it's annual maintenance, I'll have it looked at again. I would love to hear what might be the cause. The passenger side does not do this and my battery seems fine. Pete

POST 6Original post

Hold the window button down for 10 to 15 seconds, I think thats the time? In both directions to recalibrate it.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, but it didn't work. Any other suggestions ?

POST 10Original post

window motor or regualtor hard to say with out physcaly seeing it

POST 11Original post

I would bet on the regulator, it is a pretty common failure. I replaced mine following this link: http://www.bombaydigital.com/boxster/projects/window/

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm bringing this back as I just had my window issue fixed (under CNA Warranty - see the aftermarket warranty thread) - psyched My indy got the problem on the head - the issue, at least with me, was NOT the regulator but a switch in the door locking mechanism. I have the part and will post a pic later. Not sure if it's a DIY fix for me, but definitely should be for others. I have to go look at the receipt but I think the price to repair (to the insurance co) was around $300. FWIW
