You may have had two problems, one of which has been corrected.
The mechanism with the micro switch now works.
You also have a bad window regulator.
This is very common on older Boxsters and Carreras.

What you describe is the typical symptom of the bad regulator.
Could the shard of glass be from the original window that was broken and replaced?

Perhaps there's more glass jamming something. Laz - Monday, 23 January, 2012, at 12:05:20 pm |

... used regulator.
The problem with the regulators is that the blue plastic that supports the cable's tension breaks due to age and use.
A used regulator will fail a lot sooner than a new one and you'd be in the same place you are now.

the inner door handle seems to work fine, it goes back to the original position when released. However, now I have the issue of the window not going down by half an inch when opening the door.
If i want to change the regulator, how difficult of a project is it? any webpages somewhere with pictures of this DIY? Also, any recommendations on websites with good prices on parts?
Thanks
