Re: They break because Porsche's plastic parts ...
Porsche plastic is crap.
Starting with the foam in the A/C to the window regulator and every other plastic part in between including the "special" plastic paint some cars have on the center console and other interior trim.
We replace or repair these window regulators regularly because of the Sam same broken plastic piece.
I don't have exact numbers but I'll wager that at least 25% of cars have a window regulator failure by the time they hit 100k miles.
There are many, many cars with broken regulators that don't know they're broken.
In most of them the window won't drop when the latch is pulled.
I don't have explanations for your car Marc. It's special. I've never seen a worn out regulator, just broken ones.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
