How to repair window regulator porsche carrera 911,996 1997-2004 back left or back right

Thank you for doing this!! You should make a video on how to get that window regulator out!

[@gregtrainor9466]

Yes. It is especially tricky if the window is stuck in the down position. It also seems there is a plastic wear fitting missing. I designed and had one machined from high wear plastic and paid $200 to have it machined.

Incredibly informative! Thank you for making this. Just finished rebuilding and reinstalling the rear regulator in my 996. Much appreciated!

if you are doing the right regulator the short wire attaches to the upside of the pulley, if not the wires are crossing. just did mine and yes it works.

Thank you. That was really helpful.

In the case of my 01 996 C2 Cab passenger side quarter window... The long cable goes on the bottom of the roller and the short goes on top of the roller. Initially I followed the suggestion from this video, but the up and down functionality of the window ended up inverted to that of the driver rear window. Since the switch that connects to the motor can only be inserted in one position, that drove me to remove everything again and then installed the longer cable on the bottom of the roller and that did the trick. BTW, if you only have conventional tools consider using the channel locks when pulling and installing the motor roller as opposed to using the screwdriver tension technique. The latter one will mutilate the neck area where the roller goes locked in place. Hope this helps someone out there.

Does anybody know where I can get the outside guide for the wire where it rubs at the metal spot? Mine broke. Dealer wants about 200 bucks for it.

[@elikoikeda8351]

do you know why the cables get tangled? Is there any thing that can be done to prevent it?

[@nicko9796]

It gets tangled when something fails. Either a pulley or a guide or something.

Any idea where to get the gasket that's on the motor where it mounts to the regulator? When I pulled mine out, the gasket decayed into pieces.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

[@ChucklesVA]

@@michaelkelly8824 I'm sorry to say I didn't. Mine also ended up breaking again shortly. I sent it out to be rebuilt in the end.

Maybe get somebody with a little more finesse for your demo video.. They need to make a video on how to get these things out.. the worst..

Where do I buy the repair kit

[@mikebachmann4590]

Ebay

[@pmgear]

got mine on amazon, includes the upper pulley and the rivet used to attach it. Ended up cutting the rivet and threading the bore and used a bolt to bolt it in place
