grease on my windows?


Recommended Posts

Each window has 2 regulator pads, and yours are dirty and need to be replaced. It's a common problem--seems like every Boxster loaner I've driven had the problem also. Dealers stock the pads and replace them under warranty. I've had this issue with all 3 of my 996s--multiple times on 2 of them!

My car has done this since new. When you refer to it being "dirty", what exactly do you mean? My circles are clean, and haven't changed since new. It is now a year old, and still does it. Will it ever quit by itself?

Finally, do they have to take the door panels off to repair this? I hate to have them digging into my car taking it apart and causing rattles, etc.

I use dirty as a generic term--the marks look like clear oil.

Don't know if they will go away by themselves over time.

Yes, they need to remove the door panels. As I said, I've had this done many times on several 996s and haven't have any rattle problems. Of course, I let the service adviser know I'm anal (I used that exact term for emphasis), and ask that they road test the car for noises after the repair.
