These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yesterday a very small deer ran into drivers side door and left two very small dents the size of your palm. One about 10" horizontally in front of the handle. The door won't open from the outside, alignment of the door seems correct. Window opens properly. Car locks even with the window down (don't think it should do this?). Any ideas what the problem is? Maybe some electrical micro switch. Going in repair shop tomorrow and would like to give them a heads up on possible fix. Thx for any insight.

POST 2Original post

You can still lock the door with the windows down but should get a horn beep that the window is down. Sorry about the door mate.

My WAG is the deer impact knocked some link arm loose that connects the handle to the door latch. Just a WAG as I've never really spent any time studying the inside of the Porsche doors, just recalling from distant memory what other brands of doors looked like with the door panel removed. The dents might be fixable using some paintless dent removal techniques. Regardless, as deer impacts go not a real bad one. Just vow to eat more venison going forward.
