On the passenger side window do you have too hold the passenger window button down till half way up till the window automatically closes or do you hit it once and it goes up?

Thanks please post year

Hold it till half way then it will finish it off all 997 at least through 2012. Cant speak of the new 991

 

Yup, that's the way it is AND IT SUX :-(

 

I totally agree thats lame!

 

Yup, I hate it too, can't figure what the benefit is?!?

 

Especially since the cab passenger switch is one touch up.

 

Somebody in Porsche factory saves a penny with this, quite frustrating option.

 

I believe this is to prevent the driver from accidentally closing the window on the passenger while they have their hand out, hence you have to manually move it up half way before the auto close begins. This gives the passenger time to alert the driver that their hand/arm is out and the driver can stop the window by simply releasing the button before the passenger's arm gets pinched.

I'm sure there is some lawyer at the other end of this "function"

 

Probably...so I guess they aren't worried about the cab passenger getting hand pinched with the soft top?

 

oh glad someone brought this up. I was going to take it to the dealer under warranty. It is a pain I agree but knowing its that way at least saves me wondering what is wrong.

 

It's in the owners manual too.

 

Any way for durametric tuning to change this? Would be nice.

 

Durametric no but there is a module you can buy that fixes this plus other stuff. mods4cars.com

 

Complaining because you have to hold a button for 2 - 3 seconds! I am sure some of you young guys never experienced this but I remember when we had to actually turn a crank. Try closing the passenger window while driving with a crank. Sorry - couldn't resist.

 

i didn't see anyway with durametric pro to revise this-
slightly off topic but i did change coding with durametric pro to have windows roll up or roll down when locking or unlocking car with key remote. posted directions under durametric discussion awhile back.
