This is the second time I've seen this stated. Does Porsche really call the switch that detects the opening of the door and the resulting auto roll-down of the window a regulator?
In american cars, the scissors-like metal arms inside the door that the window mounts to is called a regulator.
It doesn't surprise me that they would use different terminology, it's just the fact that the same term is used for two completely different functions.
Stranger things have happened...

After posting the above, I found the following link:

I shows a Porsche regulator... and it's what I described. It is the mechanism that would move the window, whether manually or automatically. I'd assume that it has the timer or sensor built in to do the partial roll-down as well.
