I have this problem with my 2002 986. I followed you steps for the quick fix but my cable is not loose. When I pull the door. handle, the window does move a little. I can friction push the window down to the right position. It’s like either the window is binding or the window is loose in the track somehow. It functions correctly when opening the top or using the inside controls. Any ideas on how to fix this? TIA

For anyone who needs a new regulator, I just purchased one from Sunset Porsche for $260 shipped. Wish I had seen this before I ordered one…

I’m guessing the 987(.2) is nearly identical? Does the door panel itself disassemble? I’d like to refinish that rubberized paint that scratches so easily while I have it apart. Is the permanent fix new cables or new regulator?

Vu this fit all of my 986 symptoms, but did not work for me. The green ferules which were loose on your car were tight on mine, and nonadjustable. I did use this opportunity to replace the old and awful door woofer speakers with new Rockford Fosgates that sound terrific with my new Pioneer hd radio with BT. Thanks for all you do for our club.

Helpful and direct as expected. You may want to also introduce the adjustment screws on the bottom of the door. I had a similar issue on my 97. Making an adjustment there (door bottom) allowed me to not have to break the seal on the door, and restore function. Either way a new regulator feels like the right fix when time allows.

When my 99 986 base, was my daily. I had to replace my window regulator every year almost. Constant problem. Bought some from pelican parts and they don't last. I haven't yet tried letting a dealer do it yet. But for now. What I did is just lower the actual glass down where it will clear the top seal. Similar to what you did here. I got tired of replacing them so often.

very useful : haven't stripped the doors on my 996 before. One question though: when I operate either of my door handles (inner or outer), the window does drop - but if I let go the handles (say door open), the window goes straight back up. Which means the glass is too high when closing. How does the car 'know' the door is ajar, and not to put the window back up until it's closed ? I can't see a door light switch (which I was guessing it used to determine the door was ajar - the interior light does come on/off as you open/close the door as normal. Only does this on one door (drivers' side).

Your comment is at least a year old so you've probably figured something out by now. But there's a microswitch in the latch assembly. Many people suggest replacing the entire latch assembly to fix this problem. There are the original Porsche latches and there is also one made by URO which is about $110 the last time I checked. Being the cheapskate I am, I decided to take the latch assembly out and see if I could fix it myself. I discovered that the microswitch on the latch assembly worked correctly but the rotating cam part that is moved by the latch when the door opens or closes was obviously well worn. The tip of the microswitch may also be a bit worn too but I couldn't tell without comparing to a new microswitch. In my case I drilled out the two positioning holes for the microswitch which allowed it to be moved into closer contact with the cam. I used a couple of pieces of plastic cut from a plastic container to act as shims between the switch and the metal clamp that holds it in place. Also added some random rubber material between the metal clamp and the plastic bracket above it as extra insurance to keep it in place. So far it is working and the window stays down when the door is opened. However, I need to go back in and check the cable tightness as shown in this video because my window doesn't drop as much as it should. Some people have also found that their problems involved the circuit board inside the latch developed poor solder connections and were able to fix their issues by re-soldering some or all of the connections. All of this probably sounds very confusing unless you've taken the latch out to inspect it carefully. It's a bit tedious but not ridiculously difficult.
