Window regulator permanent fix for stretched cable

I can't answer your question, but here's an eBay listing from a forum member:

Porsche 996 99 05 986 Boxster 97 04 Right Passenger Side Window Regulator | eBay

Woody probably has some too:

Thank for these tips. My mechanic wanted 1,200 to install two new OEM regulators!!!

Swapping out the regulator isn't much harder than just doing the fix. I guess if the mechanic was buying a couple OEM regulators with full mark-up.... Did he offer to give it a fresh lube before putting it in?

Cole9900, I sell the window regulator/motor as one for $50. I'll gladly walk you through it if you come here. You wouldn't be the first person I've helped replace their regulator using my tools. It's real easy.

Old thread, but just wanted to say thanks...

Just implemented this fix and it completely resolved my 'front of the window isn't dropping quite enough when I pull the handle' problem on my 996 Turbo.

This is obviously an old thread as previously stated but I wanted to say that the zip-tie fix worked for my passenger side window (2000 S); it would lower as normal but would not "close" when I shut the door.

$3.89 in zip-ties and an afternoon for a newbie (me) made it worth it.

Thank you, Dave S., for the effort and sharing.
