I think that they are talking about a different issue.

This discussion was as close as I could come to people discussing any window problems with a Porsche cab.

Bonginator is infamous around these parts

Our 997.2 09 cab did this when we first got it. Took it to the P dealer in Redwood City, CA and they installed a new "controller" which fixed the issue under warranty. If you need info, the techs there could probably give you more detail on what a fix for this is.

Apparently, any resistance to closing is sensed as an obstruction, so the window goes half way back down to protect it and the obstructive object.

Exactly. My '08 cab did this, and the problem was the window was sensing an obstruction when it closed. Dealer fixed it.
