hi, i have been reading about the window cables and replacing the regulator, as of now the cable is stretched and i can't seem to find out if that adjusting screw will take out all the slack...i can pull the outer part of the cable back(where it butts against the bracket that stabilizes it)maybe an inch, and it seems to have happened quite suddenly, though of course it is just that i noticed the window not dropping that 1/4" one day, anyway, can i adjust out all the play or am i headed for a new regulator?, thanks in advance, kevin

sorry for the late reply but yes, you need to replace the unit, there is a spring that gets loose in there. There is a DIY somewhere on the web for the boxster, it is the exact same thing, find it and you will be able to DIY.
