Just had a strange thing happen. Tried to close the Passenger side window and it will go all the way up, hit the top and insist upon rolling down a third of the way before it will come to rest. I tried resetting the auto up/auto down feature but no change. Only way I could get it close is by inching it up. Anyone ever have a problem like this,,,,any thoughts???

 

Sounds like a safety mechanism is malfunctioning. Take it to the dealer

 

I've seen this in a number of other cars, but not first hand on a Porsche.

It's typically the window travel distance getting out of calibration and triggering the pinch protection feature when it hits the top of the window travel.

On my Audi I can re-calibrate the window travel very easily using the window switch. That typically stops the problem for 6-12 months. Maybe Porsche has a similar procedure.

My fiancee's BMW Z4 has the same problem, but it is going to require a trip to the dealer to address.

 

Ignition on, window switch up, hold it there for a few around 10 seconds, let go, ignition off. Worked for me on a 997. Try it.

 

Thanks guys.
Wow, I never had this trouble on my Boxster.

P.S. it seems to have fixed itself and is working ok now,,,,, until the next time

 

If the door is not fully closed this will hapen.
