Power Window Makes a "Click"/"Clunk" Noise at full raise/lower position.

If the window needs adjustment it's bc the reglator is going out.

$125 for the part... not hard to install if youre good with a screw driver and Internet instructions.....

It's most likely not the window motor... it supposidly "rarely goes out."

Yesterday my window started makeing a grinding noise at about half mast on up and down. To me it sounded like the glass was crunching. The window has no sign of cracking or anything, but I can only see what above the door trim. Last night I tried rolling the window down and it sounded like the window motor was running, but the window stayed in place. So either the window broke at the bottom or came off the track. Thanks for the link on how to install a driver window. I will be investiaging what's happening this weekend. hopefully it's a simple fix.

Another concern I notice was as of recent (2 weeks or so) my driver window seems to be too high up when closing the door. The soft top was relpaced about 5 months ago, not sure if that has anything to do with it. But I close the door and it will either not close completely if I close the door lightly, or slips under the rubber trim if I close the door firmly and then rolls up the extra few to make a complete seal. Any thoughts? I breifly caught something said about window's being too high. Just curious if it would be a regulator issue.

I have a similar problem.

When my drivers side window is completely down it makes a ticking noise or slight rattle. What's the problem here? Normally it wouldn't bother me but, the fact that my ear is so close to it, it drives me up the wall. I've got a temporary fix of just increasing the volume on the stereo but, I'd like to get it fixed.

Also my drivers side window goes completely down, you can't see the window at all. Passenger side has about an inch that's visible when fully down. Is this normal?

Yeah, that ticking noise and such is an indication that regulator may be going out BUT you can always pull door panel out and lubricate all the moving parts with silicone spray or grease. I've lubricated the regulators on a few German cars like that but I have also replaced the regulators myself. I think the porsche part cost closer to $200...I'd like to know where it can be purchased for $125.

I have the same question. Just purchased the passenger side regulator (PN 996-542-076-04 Window Lift Mec) and with my PCA discount the total was $200.55 (after tax.)

Where did you get the part for $125.00? I'm sure my driver's side will go out eventually so it would be nice to know for the future.

Call Sunset Imports in Oregon. 15% over hard cost. I bought my regulator from them and it was half the price of my local stealership.
