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.

I had it in with my local indy and he had it on PIWIS, reset the entire thing, swapped the rear control unit with a fresh one, checked all the micro switches/gearboxes and no change.

The only thing that was changed on the car was a dead battery - there was no fault prior.

Sounds like it's from the top operation but why it would change all of a sudden is strange.

a dead battery can make you lose all your settings which would explain this but not why after being reset by your tech it lost it again.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

My 987 2.7 has developed a very frustrating fault whereby the windows have dropped circa 50mm (as they would if you were to lower/raise the roof) and there doesn't seem to be a solution. The roof is physically up and latched but there is a message telling me that the roof is not in the top position. I had it in with my local indy and he had it on PIWIS, reset the entire thing, swapped the rear control unit with a fresh one, checked all the micro switches/gearboxes and no change. The next day he took managed to get it working so I went to pick it up and as I unlocked it, the windows dropped. He had it on PIWIS again but couldn't make head or tail of it. I left it with him. Picked it up this Monday and all was working perfectly. Drove the circa 50 miles home. Got in it today and the bl***y windows have dropped again. I don't have a garage so had to go to halfrauds to buy an emergency cover. He mentioned something about a gateway recall that Porsche are keeping very quiet about. Has anybody experienced anything like this before? If it helps to diagnose the problem, my heated seats aren't working either.

POST 2Original post

It changes without you opening or closing windows and it's both windows ? Sounds like it's from the top operation but why it would change all of a sudden is strange. Nothing was changed or done to the car ?

POST 3Original post

Hi Augie. It is both windows. The only thing that was changed on the car was a dead battery - there was no fault prior.

POST 4Original post

a dead battery can make you lose all your settings which would explain this but not why after being reset by your tech it lost it again. I've had my windows setup go off and had to reset the auto close or door opening down which sounds like what it's doing Something in the auto close door opening setting is not set right Read the procedure for doing this in the owner manual, do what it says completely and see that helps
