Porsche 997 2 Door Card Removal and Pivot Lever Repair

[@walterandykathleen]

Thanks for the video. This is one of the better explanations on how to remove the door panel. Something I’ve never seen addressed in a door video is handle adjustment. The handle’s pivot assembly is attached to the door panel with screws and the holes are slotted for adjustment. It’s important to make sure that a small pin on the back of the door handle lands on top of the microswitch.

Thanks for the video, that's a very informative one, but I should mention that the door clip are very tricky to snap back on the door, in order to do it right you have to use needle nose plier to return them to a top up position, then align them up with the holes, otherwise they either brake off or just won't be back in the hole.

Thank you very much for commenting on this and helping us to improve the procedure

Hi, I really hvg trouble to get back the clips lock in back to their respective holes. U mean all the clips need to use nose plier to align them properly to the holes before u can push/bang it bank to the door. The easier one to fix are the ones near the hinge side but the bottoms & nearer to the door handle are really difficult.

Hi Fitz I’m having the same issue, window goes down but doesn’t go back up. Can you tell me if you changed the window switch also or did just swapping the inside door lever solve ur issue? And was the auto-up function affected?

the issue I had was a hardware failure of the door handle pivot lever. The issue you are describing does seem more with a microswitch sensor
