Hi all, fairly new member here, with an '02 996 Carrera coupe. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the inside door handle suddenly got floppy, which suggested to me that a spring had broken. After removing the door panel, sure enough, the spring that keeps the inside door handle pulled in had failed.

As soon as the spring arrives, I'll install itand that problem should go away.

My real question is that I've noticed that my window doesn't clear the door gasket. The window does go down a bit when you open the door from inside. Could this problem be related to the failed inside door handle return spring? The problem existed before the spring actually broke, and I'm thinking that the spring had lost some of its tension, so the switch that lowers the window slightly might not have been fully depressed.

Any thoughts?
