Windows Need Thermal Underwear

[pjslowik]

My 03 Boxster's windows work fine until the temps get below about 50*. Then, when I pull on the inside door lever, the window jumps open some, but then when I release the handle, the window continues all the way down. Likewise, opening the door from the outside results in a fully lowered window. Unlocking the top will fully lower the windows also. Sometimes they lower different distances. Using the window switches results in mixed occurrences. Sometimes they will lower and continue some after the switch is released, and sometimes they will continue all the way down.

This only happens in the cold. The colder it is, the worse it gets. Can anyone explain how the limiting mechanism works in these? How are the different preset lowering distances set? Thanks.

Anybody??

Perhaps we can add a "Boxster Window Issues" section?

Dealer replaced both window motors. Problem solved. Sure would like to dissect one of those.

Also replaced a window regulator which solved loud "crack" noise when closing.
