Windows drop troubleshooting.

[PLP]

I am finally going back to the window drop...

In conclusion - what is the VW part number for 2003 Boxster?

Mine reads 99653754500 or 996.537.545.00 on the drivers side door.



I am not sure if I mentioned it earlier, but... when I pull the drivers handle the window will drop and stays dropped.
Yet, if I pull the handle kind of all the way, say too quickly and too abruptly (no, not yank it, just pull it all the way up, like a normal person would) then the window drops yet the moment I release the handle - it will go back up.
The door is open and the window is up.
Then, I wiggle with the lock latch - move it gently up/down and the switch will catch on causing the window to drop.

Does it mean the latch needs to be cleaned and I will be good?

This sounds like the issue I went through a month ago. And yes, it was the latch. R/r the latch is definitely tricky business since you are reassembling the latching mechanism inside the door blindly. Instead you are reconnecting the latch itself to the window control mechanism by feel. Oddly enough, doable, even for me. The window works fine now.

At first I was annoyed the YouTube videos didn’t bother to show the hardest part. Then dawned on me, they couldn’t. If you can’t see the process, how could you make a video of it?
