It's a real pain to open and close the door when the window doesn't drop!

From searching it appears the door latch or microswitch might be the problem. Any way of knowing which part is at fault so I can get something on order to fix it?

Thanks
Had the same this spring. Drives you mad.....
My experience is that you need to replace the entire window mechanism in the door.
Not the world in cost but a bit fiddly apparently.
I am not the greatest mechanic so I had it done at an independent, but Porsche approved, garage. They say they do tons of them on 986 and 996 these days. Especially the passenger side for some reason.
