This is like doing a puzzle. I have no idea how we used to do this without the internet. I guess we just paid the man. So this is what I have come up with so far. Particle Wave has been on point since the beginning but didnt spoon feed me the " how to " portion of replacing the door switches

I found the door micro switch that supposedly functions as the window drop down via the door handle.........I am going to try this first before and window regulator work because it is easy and cheap. I have now discovered Pelican Parts.....Lots of good info over there.
Here is the part that I will be trying. If anyone has a vid on how to install please let me know. It looks to be just plug and play...but I am crossing my fingers that i dont have to remove the airbag to do so.

Having found PelicanParts, you have probably seen the Tech Articles, but here's the link just in case:
https://www.pelicanparts.com/boxster/boxster_tech.htm
Most of it follows the 101 Projects Book, but being online there is a comments section and additional pics.

For the microswitch, I'd use a multimeter and test the switch in place before buying a replacement.
