My guess is the car thinks the window is not all the way up when in fact it is.

Try resetting the window up position. With the door closed, press the window up button and keep it held for several seconds after the window is all the way up.
Tried that, makes no difference. Also the second position of the switch doesn’t work anymore, I have to keep pulling or pushing to keep the window moving.
It’s scheduled for a service in two weeks anyway for the conn failure. We’ll see…

@PrudentOcean My dealer called me about this. What I had to do is open the window all the way down, when it's down let go of the switch and then press the switch again quickly all the way down and let go. And do the same with closing it. That fixed it, now my two way switch is working again and when opening the door the window goes down again a couple of mm's.

Great tip. Thank you.
I was always getting an error message on my app that the front passenger side window is not closed, but it was closed.
I followed this process, and it worked, error message cleared. 🙏

I had 2 trunk errors, first the pull mechanism didn’t work anymore, after that the electric motor failed …
apparently they had one other case in the same garage and heard of similar failures in other shops …

I would add this one to the list.
Whole pano roof is creaking, noted at all times when slow speed driving even on smooth roads. Tried to clean the rubber seals but didn’t help. Have a dealer appt this week to address:

AC not working
Driver side door misalignment
Driver side front interior grab handle creaking on closing / opening door.
Pano roof creaking
Plug and Charge not working

That sounds like it was damaged in shipment and repaired at the port (especially because of the driver side door misalignment)

Well since they have no requirement to report port damage, it’s possible, but I have no way of proving it. Hopefully they get it taken care of.

I would like to add an annoying front Passenger side door panel?, rattle, the exact cause yet TBD, as it's been to the dealership once supposedly fixed but appeared again a few days later so going back in on Monday for Round 2 this time though I have video evidence to prove I am not going mad!

yeah I have that too. I did one of those YouTube rattle tests that play the full range of frequencies. Does yours happen around 50ish hertz?

for me it goes away temporarily if I punch the door panel lol. But I don’t wanna do that too many times

Actually it seems to be worse when the car interior is cold, then as it warms up the intermittent rattles seems to decrease also depends largely on road surface as well . Like I said it is going back to the dealership on Monday as even though it's intermittent I am not letting It go for a $130,000 SUV.

I have the passenger door panel rattle as well. Similarly it seems to change based on the temperature. What did the Porsche Center do to try to address it when you all took it in to be addressed?

Noticed this too with music though… figured it’s a specific bass frequency that causes it.

Another issue I recently noticed.
My rear windshield wiper is mounted at an angle. Added to list for dealership to fix.

photo of mine vs how I’m assuming it should look based on same spec vehicle at another dealership on Porsche finder.
