2000 996 carrera 2 6 speed coupe - Window Regulator

[Philip54]

I need to replace the driver side window regulator.  I have seen that many aftermarket window regulators are available at prices that vary significantly.  I was also told that re-built original units can be purchased, but I could not find any online.    I would consider both options.

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thanks

I bought a used one on EBay in 2017 for $70. No problems so far.

Sorry, that looks like a door lock mechanism - not a window regulator.

I hate to say it....buy a Window Regulator from Porsche, or a vendor that sells Porsche OE Window Regulator.  Going cheap on this one is nothing but trouble.  Your OE window regulator lasted 19 years, so you want another one that will last another 19 years.  It is not a painful job to replace the window regulator, but with a cheap knockoff or "re-built" regulator, you will be replacing it again within a year.

LOL, you are right sorry for the mistake. The door lock mechanism was another repair I had to make. I was able to get my window regulator rebuilt for $180 from a service listed on eBay.

Thanks to All.  My door lock has also failed.  So the information from toddmac12 is also appreciated!
