Because our cars are convertibles, the windows go up and down a LOT more than say, a carrera or cayman. This leads to the regulators wearing out faster.

Now I do not think that they should wear out as quickly as they do. Most window regulators last a long, long time... Porsche has produced yet another crappy part for our cars, and while I'm sure they've been improved over the years, it's a sad statement to make about a manufacturer.

I replaced my passenger side regulator because the front and back part of the window did not go up to the top at the same time... another sign it's worn out and needs to be replaced.
