Window Regulator Adjustment

[CrossT]

I have just installed a new [aftermarket] regulator via instructions here and at rennlist [also posted this question there]. Not a hard task at all.

But, I find that the travel downward is short by ~2 inches. Up stop is good as is fore/aft in the channels. I have looked via searches here/there, but can't seem to locate a procedure to adjust the lower stop. I notice a strange screw on each of the window clamps which would move the clamp up or down. Is that the vertical adjustment? It is in the most upward position. It looks like a reverse [male] Torx screw. If I move the clamps down via that, won't it also affect the top stop?

thanks

there is a plastic stop at the bottom of each track that needs to be removed.

Todd:

The problem is that the window regulator is the same for 911's and Boxsters, and if the little plastic plug is not taken out for a 996/997 installation, the window will not lower all the way.

Remove the door panel again (it gets much easier the second time :P ) and you will find said plastic plug/stop at the very base of the front leg of your new regulator. Just pop that one out and it should fix your problem.

Note that you may have to retrain the window once you assemble everything again.

There a few threads here with photos on the topic if you need one.

Regards, Maurice.

Thanks guys

With the upper [boxster] stop removed all is well.

I will need to retrain the windows, since I no longer have the 'one touch' ability. not that I really care about that.
