Wonderful. Thanks Maurice!!

Are we talking about this peice?


However; The problem is some-what intermittent. The other forums seem to suggest that it could just be wiring, would the intermittance be cause by that?

It happens to my car too… It is not intermittent, it happens all the $%^& time!

I have taken apart the micro switch…TWICE! Tried to clean it, tried to reseat it. No luck. Guess I'm buying a new door handle? Is that really the only option?

Just wanted you to know you weren't the only one. Good description BTW. Yes there is info out there but I have not had much luck with it. My $.02

Let me know how you solve it.

The link to the part did not work. I believe it is part #14 in this diagram: Porsche Boxster Door In White Parts

The intermittent nature of the window drop function could be caused by the microswitch itself or by the wiring leading to it. I believe there was a post here about two years ago where one poster had success in repairing the assembly by just flowing some solder onto the connections that lead into the assembly to re-establish contact. His problem with the window drop was also intermittent.

Regards, Maurice.
