I recently had this problem with the driver side (RHD) window not dropping when pulling the handle (inside or outside). Also the alarm would double-beep when unlocking, and the cabin light didn't come on when the driver door was opened.

Tried a number of things - replaced handle microswitches (no effect), replaced and reprogrammed Alarm CLU (had got wet so was prime suspect - but no effect), and even removed the carpet (as it needed to dry anyway) and checked as much of the wiring as I could get to between the CLU and the driver door). Finally replaced the door lock assembly with a VW part (£26 from Amazon UK compared to £200+ from Porsche) and a) the lock fitted and works a treat and b) all the above issues with the window drop and alarm beeps have been resolved!

I would recommend anyone with similar problems checking the lock assembly before experimenting with more expensive parts of the system!
