It knows when it's fully up and stops and drops when the door handle is used, just as it should but any help working out why it wont fully go down would be appreciated.

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

Hi All, I replaced the window regulator yesterday after the original gave up in all the snow and ice over the last few weeks. It works fine with the exception it does not fully wind down into the door. It stays 3cm proud of the door. I dont think it's the new mechanism but could this be a switch or a reset that needs to be done?? It knows when it's fully up and stops and drops when the door handle is used, just as it should but any help working out why it wont fully go down would be appreciated. Many thanks Matt

POST 2Original post

I think you have a regulator from a Boxster. They are the same regulator, but you need to move the bottom stops from the Boxster position to the 996 position:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 4Original post

My passenger door window's never gone all the way down into the door but has always worked fine. I feel another door card removal coming on.
