Two weeks ago I had a problem with my power window lift mechanic at the drivers side which I had it fixed at the park place porsche in dallas texas and was told that my warranty doesn't cover for the power window lift mechanic and was charged 516 dollars. Having done my own research I found out that the limited warranty that I have covers electrical mechanics including power windows. Heres the website itself (http://www.porsche.com/USA/pre-owned-vehicles/approved/)
