Hi,

Welcome Back BTW! Standardizing the Windows is required anytime the Battery, the wiring harness or the Motor are disconnected. The Power Window Regulator loses it's reference point for the Closed Position.

To re-establish this, you need to fully raise the Windows (with the Top up) and hold the switch depressed after the Window reaches its peak for 5 sec.

Also, you lose the one-touch control after the same types of interuptions and so must also re-establish this. This is done by running the Window one complete cycle - Up/Down without interuption. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!.... Jim'99

My drivers window drops 1/4". but goes back up when the handle is released.
The interior door lights stay on as if the door is open when it is shut.
Can you please with this problem.
Thanks,
Glenn

Just had this issue with my recently acquired 2000 Boxster S... it was the microswitch on the door lock assembly inside the door. Unfortunately it is not a separate part so you have to swap out the whole lock itself. The microswitch is basically not telling the car about the door open/close position properly.

Glen -
Reborn996 is correct. Search for a post from a few days ago titled 'Window not staying down'. It includes part info and the name of the thread I used about a year ago to fix the same problem.
Just be sure to keep the windows down a little when closing the door until it is fixed.
Good luck!
