Is the window on your Porsche 997 or 987 (911, Boxster, Cayman) not staying in the dropped position when you open the door? The culprit is a faulty door latch mechanism. However, before you replace the unit try spraying WD40 into the latching mechanism and cycle the door latch manually several times. This fixed my issue and may fix yours.

Mine did the opposite where it would drop and not go back up unless I rolled it up from the inside. I also got the door lock mechanism and it sat on the shelf for months because I didnāt wanna tackle it. Then saw a video where a guy fixed his with the window motor. Picked up a used one on eBay for $45 and boom!! Fixed!!
Interesting take on this issue. I had the same problem only AFTER I sprayed some lube into the latch as routine PM. The next day this problem appeared with the window not staying down the 1/2 inch. I replaced the latch and never a problem since. I attributed the problem to the fact that I'd sprayed WD into the latch. Maybe I should have given it more time to "self-correct"!
You think collecting exhaust tips is a good investment š Will try the WD-40, mine started giving problems after replacing the regulator.
Great trick! My passenger side window only opens from the driver side window controls but doesnt not work if i use the passenger side window switch. Do you have any idea what the issue may be?
