I’m shocked at how well that cubby fits. That almost NEVER happens with aftermarket
They're backordered now :(
When it comes to Porsche vehicles, it’s the smallest things that are the hardest. I spent 3 months of weekends trying to repair the sun shade motors in my Cayenne. One of the most frustrating things I’ve ever done. After multiple unique torx bits, brass gears, one new sun shade motor (because I broke it) and a lot of cussing, I got them both fixed. To date, it’s the repair I’m most proud of. 😊
Looking so much better, but I would try to refresh the hand brake somehow.
Yes that's on the list as well.
Thanks for posting my comment at 1:32 You rock. Love how the 996 is coming together. Love this build.
I enjoy watching your 996 turbo build and I always look forward to your new videos 👍
Thanks for the heads up on the cubby, def not aware these were available 👌
They are sweet!
Thank you for the great content. Good to finally see you happy. That windows regulator is indeed a huge milestone. Keep up the great work, you'll end up with an awesome car.
Congrats on the window motor, was pissing me off too 🎉
Not sure what you want to do with the seats, but a cool idea would be to get the Porsche emblem embossed on the headrests and maybe even getting the centers in houndstooth.
Those “fake window” buttons are where the heated seat switch would be for cars optioned with those upgraded seats. That is a really nice center console upgrade, I will have to look into that!
Depends on which model. On a 996 Cab, the rear window switches do go there, the heated seat switches are in the batwing
Mine has heated seats on the radio surround area.
You should make a T-Shirt with the visor warning cover all scratched up with 996 underneath!
hahah! I doubt many would sell though.
Nice job! That window switch is so small but satisfying 😊
So much more enjoyable to drive now!
@@matt13ross I bet! ALL those little things add up. Even more so when you do them yourself.
I had no problem at all with the ebay mirror flip covers, they fit perfect. It looks like you and I used the same retailer for all the lighting. I am impressed with your choice. It shows taste and style. They've been in for a year no failure so far, I know some cheap LEDs can disappoint, but knock on wood.
I reused the door courtesy lights just threw in LEDs. One day I'll splurge for the ones that shine the porsche crest on the ground when you open the door, so bling. I like the new ashtray replacement, but it does seem like there's quite a Porsche tax on it. Maybe renn will have a sale 😅
Thanks for the entertaining video!
I didn't even think of the courtesy lights with the Porsche crest until a few people commented about that. I'm not sure how I feel, it can be cheesy sometimes.
I'm not worried about cheesy, no one will likely see it save me, rarely. I'm not huge on night driving at my age. Tho I have spent the money to refresh my litronics, using the kit from NL, retrofitlabs. They're great lights now. It was one of the first upgrades. Safety first.
A little tip on troubleshooting, always suspect the part with moving parts first.
That exhaust does sound epic, nice work fella
Thanks 👍
I own two salvage Boxsters......the one I am going to keep for a daily driver......the windows go up and down when you open and close the doors......but, you can't do anything with the window switches.......as they go up/down/up when you open/close the doors.....it seems the motors are good......need to figure out if it is the switches or a relay or something.....you fixing your issue on the passenger door has motivated me to finally dig into the issue I am having.....
Electrical issues are annoying, that's for sure. Give it a try though!
So glad you were able to get the passenger window fixed. Your spirit fingers while showing it operate hands free inspired me to watch "Bring It On" just kidding! Absolutely love your videos (In the most manly way)!!! It is awesome to see how you channel had grown since the early days of the E36. Hopefully with Spring here we might see some LS glory!? No matter what I'll be here for the next drop!
Thank you! That's funny, I'm actually waiting on two parts from Etsy for the E36 then I can finish that video! I also might make another "building in 10 minutes" video of the E36, but now with the widebody and all the other updates since the first one.
There is a factory ashtray delete option but it retains those switch blanks... if I hadn't already installed that I would be buying one of the kind you got.
nice work! as we said, allways switch parts from one side to the next before checking wirering etc :)
Yup, that would have solved this very quickly lol.
@@matt13ross heheh lesson learned for next time 😂 great to see it lookin sharp!
Great stuff Matt. I had a dude 3D print visors for me and they too were a little off. I ended up breaking one trying to install it. Glad that door window issue was only the motor. Mine is making scraping noises and clunks up against the cabriolet top when it’s all the way up.
I think there are a few different versions of the visors which make them tricky to create.
Great film, great series, your perseverance is remarkable.
Thank you!
Coming along nicely
You need to get the handbrake boot to match with shifter boot to complete the interior 👌
Agreed, but haven't been able to find one.
@8:05 Hate to burst your bubble, but the window should drop about 1 cm before opening the door. I think you need to set that stil.
Get the puddle lights that project the word PORSCHE onto the ground, they looks great.
Didn't hear of them until now.
Happy for you bro congratulations
Absolutley awesom,e Matt, Your patience and work ethic are 2nd to none and what a fantastic car youve finished up with, NOW GO OUT AND ENJOY IT 🙂
Also thanks for the laughs and pointers to the parts what youve used, Enjoy your Porsche ,
Thanks so much!
Thank U it's about time you finally got the passengers window fixed 🙌 🙏 🤪
AGREED!
Congratulations on the window motor.. definitely looks like a complete car now..I can't wait to see the seats and steering wheel installation videos..Good Job!
Thank you!
Yay! got the window fixed, that was bugging me too👍
Awesome work mate - I own Perfekt Lighting and do a superb LED interior and Numberplate kit for the 996’s (I’m UK based for any UK customers)
FYI the "fake" window switches are actually garage door openers. Seems like your car doesn't have it optioned. My 996 turbo has them and they work!
Is there a kit for sale that makes those operational?? I have a garage door and a gate remote on my visor I’d like to ditch
Love the update 👌🔥🔥🔥 Your videos are getting better and better brother😎🤙
nicely done, a little motivating
great job on window!!!
Thanks man!! Great job on the paint! lol
The aftermarket support for cars nowadays is insane. 3D printing has allowed people to make exactly what they want/need. I had e28 few years back and it didn't have cupholders at all. Some guy designed dual cupholders for the car, paid 30 bucks for it and I used it daily. Probably one of my favourite upgrades on any car, even though it's such a small thing.
Glad you got that fixed. Would you be surprised to learn that these are still an issue with Porsche? Probably not. @ those window motors going out a lot.
Looking good bro!
I’m so happy you nailed that dam window well done progress progress progress great work. 👍👍👍
Looking better all the time! Very excited to see the new steering wheel cover too.
Perseverance pays off - good job
You’re supposed to pull the handle slightly which lowers the window then you pull it some more tomopen the door
2 door panels on the car! What a relief!
my 986 came with that centre cubby in the middle, never knew it was aftermarket, it had a little rubber mat at the bottom to keep coins from rumbling and jumping around !
Should have gotten the Porsche puddle lights since you replaced those door panel lights! Love the upgrades.
It has come a long long way. 👍
Indeed!
Love this!!
Glad to see that car coming back to its best!!! 🎉
Probably wouldn’t be that much to have your seats not only reupholstered in black leather but replace the under foam in each seat.
Damn, when you said you were fixing the worst part, I was hoping it was the tail lights!
I'm joking, I know that's easier said than done lol. Loving this build series!
LOLOLOL like I said, that's about last on my list, but it's on there!
Just a diy idea. Can paint the center console in yellow with clear coat to add some pop inside. Yellow seat belts too.
I'm considering that right now, just not sure if I want bright yellow inside lol.
@@matt13ross the seat belts are a nice addition. I have them on mine as well as the yellow instrument cluster
Nice build. Love the videos. You should lower the FX volume (when showing text for exemple) on iphone 12 the sound is to loud.
I'll keep that in mind!
You should get some bucket seats. Would look so good in that!!
I had the exact same problem with the door latch. I just fixed it yesterday. Took the half with the mechanical bits and the new microswitch form the non-Porsche new one, and put it together with the other half with the electronic bits from the used one. I for the life of me cannot find a difference between the new and old board inside the half with the connector (there are no electronics inside, just a motor, and I swapped that around too). But the car knows... Maybe one lead goes to ground and it senses that. IDFK. In any case, now it is done. 5 hours gone. Was thinking about whether I could tell you how to fix yours as I was doing it :( Too late.
That new piece make the rest of the center console look like crap! Really nice upgrade
Console upgrade incoming!
I would have definitely used your method of testing the window motor before dropping $600. 👍
Congratulations 🎉😂 I feel your pain ideal with autoglass everyday at work
Thanks!
Thank you kind sir!
Watching someone work on his car is always so relaxing to watch 😂👌
love the content Matt, keep it up!
Nice video🔥 please lower the Porsche a little bit than it’s perfect
Speaking of upgrades, how's that ATOTO head unit doing? Thinking about upgrading my stock unit.
Love it! Has all the android functions, plus physical buttons, wireless carplay, etc.
@@matt13ross Good to know. Thanks for the reply!
Simple, but effective upgrades, can make quite the difference. 👍🇨🇦
$600+ for a window motor? Wow, the Porsha tax is real. 😂😭
Sure is lol
Good work with the window.What a relief.Your link doesn’t pop up.for me.I’d like to get the LED kit and visors👍
I checked and all the links in the description box work.
@@matt13ross Maybe my fingers are too big,your merch section kept opening.I’ll try again thanks
@@matt13ross funny,opened on my phone not iPad 🤔 Thanks
This build gives me life. So satisfying just to watch.
Great video like always, keep it up 👍🏽
Where is the link to the cubby for the console? I have a body colored console (midnight blue) and the ash tray door actually works, but that cubby looks clean
Description box.
Feeding the algorithm to bump this content up!
Put a USB in the new center console piece and charge your phone there!
I just sold my 986 boxster 2.5 1999 for 1.2k gbp ! Was considering fixing it myself but the engines rod bearings spun, and i have no clue how to fix that lol. saving for a cayman 987.2 :)
Fixing the engine would have required an engine drop and nearly everyone does a complete engine overhaul while it's tore apart. Super expensive
Man that window motor has been a nightmare!!
The center console piece is a nice upgrade indeed. However, I personally find it’s price of $129 too high. It should be in the $60- $75 range. Great that you got it for free!
You have to account for research and development too. I'm sure it took a long time to design a nice working and fitting part.
Now you need to get the centre console painted to match the car colour
2:52 😂👌
Comming together nicely! But geez, the issues of this car is just endless. Hadnt have much qualified tlc of the previous owners..
About the window motor, cant understand why you couldnt measure the driver vs. passenger side. Currentdraw, and voltage supplied would have given the answer to this problem imideately ;-)
But as you said, now you got a new window regulator system as well!
Yellow bird ;-)..
As i recall, tune planned?
You said in the beginning of the video at about 1:44 if it doesn't work, you might burn it. well lets make a spectacle of it and run it over with BIG 4X4 lol and cannon shoot the car about 30 ft in the air.
The whole car? lol
@@matt13ross yep
Could it be the switch? Is there a module that the switch goes to?
It's fixed now lol. Wasn't the switch at all.
If I was the previous owner I would definitely sue you because you hurt my feelings every single time 😂😂😂😂
Am I missing something? I don’t see the link to the center console replacement ashtray cubby.
In the description box.
So, you do your own thing, but when swapping the passenger window motor to the driver side. That only proves that the motor is faulty, but does nothing to prove the passenger wiring is in tact. Swapping the known good motor into the passenger side would help prove the root cause.
It did prove it. I installed a new window motor and it works perfectly.
The brushes might be worn in the old motor.
Nice🎉
That window motor, the one part of that system no one thought to check. lol
You've got a PORSCHE TURBO. Spending $652 on a window motor isn't that big a deal, and you know a new motor will be reliable.
I have a USED 149k mile Turbo. It doesn't need brand new OEM parts to work well. I can't afford brand new OEM parts everywhere.
Am I the only one not seeing the links he mentioned in his description?
In the description box, can't miss it.
@@matt13ross sorry Matt, but it doesn't show in the description in the TH-cam app for me. It does from my computer though
Hrm that’s odd!
How do you manage to get a "w" in the word "on"????
I'm confused
Dude, that is a motor assembly, it has the regulator module on it! Last time you changed the window crane, not the regulator. It was the regulator this whole time as everyone in the comments told you. 🙂
I’m going to be sad when the 996 series will be over…….
I'm not surprised you plan to vote for Asteroid 2024 as well.
Steering wheel is human cheese should clean up
FJB
Never say Porschaa again, sincerly a German
hahahah
Delete the door...problem solved
It's fixed now though lol
First
Another Like! Love this 996 series. What a crappy car you fixed up. Great work. LETS GO BRANDON
