Q – I have a 1984 Targa and my windows go up too high. It makes it hard to shut the door unless I lower the window a little. The window hits side of the weather-stripping and then the window sticks out. It also leaks! I removed the door panel and I could see a stop for the window with a chunk of plastic. It looks bent. What do you suggest? John T.
A – Porsche offers a repair part for the window regulator that can be installed once the regulator is removed. It is stronger than the original and will probably last another twenty years or so. The other option is a new, improved window regulator. It is a more robust design and a permanent cure but it requires slight modifications to fit. The part costs about two hundred dollars but if you enjoy tinkering, for about 20 bucks, you can save the extra cash and take your wife out for a really nice dinner in your Porsche. MC
