Where are the windows on a Porsche Boxster?
There’s a microswitch in the interior light unit where the manual catch engages. It’s the one that triggers the windows dropping. Sounds a bit odd what your indie is telling you…. This function should be there on all Boxsters. It certainly is on my 2002 (pre-facelift) and as the previous owner told you, it used to work!
When do the windows go back up on a Boxster?

How does the window work on a 996 Boxster?
I have seen a lot of window issues in boxsters and 996’s lately. The general operation of the door glass is simple in the 2 cars. Basically, when you pull the the door handle (inner or outer), the window glass will drop about a 1/2″ to allow for smooth opening of the door. When the door shuts, the window will raise back into place.

How do you close the windows on a Boxster?
The final window close is done manually on a 2000 986. Later Boxsters (987> I think) fully close the windows once the hood is shut. Not on my 2001 it isn’t. The only part of the process that is manual is raising the windows back up after the hood has been dropped. When I raise the hood and close the catch, the windows close up automatically.
