I agree with you, suneet. If the service guys at Pacific Porsche knew what they were doing, the problem would most likely be solved by now. Still, every time I've gone there the people have been very apologetic, accomodating, and nice, so it's hard to get mad at them. Also, it's quite fun just to sit back and relax in their showroom with free drinks and coffee, and check out the cars on the display floor. They currently have a brand new white 997 GT2 on display, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

The auto feature causing the window to fail rolling up and then roll down half way is a common problem and the solution for it is to 're-teach' the regulator the correct distance to move the window. The procedure is in the manual.

This thread discussed it: Passenger Window Ghost ?


Did they try this first before they went on to replace things? Also, even if they did... it seems like they are not very proficient at programming using Piwis.

Honestly, I have no idea what the techs tried, but I doubt they tried anything substantial. Apparently they've seen this problem before, and they've been taught to:

1. Replace window motor. If that doesn't work,
2. Replace regulator.

Thank goodness this is just a minor issue and doesn't affect the car's performance. If it takes a few visits with my car to help the techs get a little more proficient with PIWIS programming, that's OK with me.
