Thanks for your thread!
I am looking at replacing these on both of my doors. Specifically, when the handle is pulled the window drops, but as SOON as i let go the window shoots up. Based on the behavior, I assume the microswitch is in the "stuck up" position. Both doors act this way.

Unfortunately, my boxster was well optioned two and a half decades ago and has the alarm option.

I can try and disassemble to clean the switches (would appreciate help iding them in your photos), but are the switches the same between these and the cheap VW models? I would want them on hand to save the effort of disassembling, reassembling again.
