Hi everyone,

I'm new here, would appreciate advice!

Basically the driver side window on my 987 not going down any more. I can hear the motor working and some strange sounds coming out but the window is stationary. When I close the door there is a slight movement of the window (where it's supposed to go all the way up), but that's pretty much it.

Described the symptoms over the phone, been told window regulator needs to be replaced. A few questions:

1) Is this indeed mostly due to window regulator? Does it have to be replaced as opposed to repairing/fixing?
2) Could this job have any negative effect on moisture resistance? Been told that inner panel needs to be replaced too in order to prevent moisture is that indeed necessary?
3) Any advice on a good specialist not very far from West London who could help me with this at a sensible price?

Many thanks!!

£470 (!) in total, very expensive.

Window Regulator and Door Membrane has been replaced.
Membrane is optional, only if worn out (which mine was).
