Great video, very helpful to see how these cars come apart.i have to fix my felt because my window rattles too. Thanks again for taking the time to make the videos. I like that you don’t jump over steps and we get to see the whole process.

Thx, glad it helps.

I like these G Model repairs, I know 356 & long hoods, but this is very informing on the newer cars. I have a similar 84 CAB, that will need this someday.

It's crazy the amount of stuff that they added to these cars. I love comparing the 60's, 70's and 80's

Cool music!

[@gearhead9828]

Yes, that's for the alarm and it is a separate key. My mechanic recommended not to activate the alarm as it is not very reliable. 87 Coupe btw.

[@robbrooks4964]

Yep for the alarm. I never use it. Same for me. 87 coupe.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thx guys, I don't have this key then.

I broke my driver's door actuator arm by clicking the central lock button while the door was open. The "don't lock your keys in the car" physical lockout doesn't override the central locking. I did this while I was mucking around in the door trying to fix the stuck power window. So, I got the power window unstuck and working smoothly. I got a new actuator arm from Porsche and installed it. Put the door all back together, everything worked well. A few weeks later: power window stuck again, power door lock broken again. So somehow the new arm has come off already. I haven't opened it up again, but I have a hunch that the top trim piece for the door, the part that the lock button which moves up and down goes through, is binding on that button. It may have been creating just enough drag to pop the arm off when the lock solenoid moved. It's definitely too stiff when operating the lock manually now, and it seems like that is the reason. Something to keep in mind. Also, instead of hooking up the window switches just to lower the window one time, you can push a hex key into the window motor and wind it manually. This is in the owner's manual for "stuck window" emergencies, and the factory tool kit came with a hex socket and handle for this. That's how I unstuck my window the first time.

Oh wow, bummer to hear that the problem came back. Also weird that the central lock button broke the door. I won't try that! Good tip on the manual winder tool. Best of luck finding the problem. I'm guessing the latch mechanism is to blame?

[@superbear617]

Was the lever you used to pry out the exterior trim piece a bicycle tire removal tool???

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

It's thinner than a bicycle tool, but it's a nylon pry tool from snap on. It has a little fork on the end too.

Great.., now I need some shoe glue

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Ha ha, a cobbler needs new shoes.
