Then test it and see if the drop is proper. Each adjustment has an effect on the rest. The Bentley manual is really helpful as is the DIY write up on Pelican Parts.
I have tried the bike cable adjuster, cheaper aftermarket regulators, and finally bit the bullet and bought OEM for both sides.
Getting the plastic cover sealed back onto the door is critical to preventing water intrusion.

Thanks Rex. I haven’t done a window regulator before and I expected as much.
I’ve emailed my local Porsche specialist to see when they can take a look. They have a good reputation and I’ve seen some of their work so I think I’ll just go with what they recommend.
I think a previous owner has had a go and fitted a homemade door seal which looks a bit messy but does seem to work. I sat in it while it rained and the leak is definitely coming from the window. The seal is clear plastic and I can see that it is holding water back. I will probably replace it with OEM for peace of mind though.
