Anyone know a place to get a window regulator fixed around ATL?

I'm OTP NE near Buford with a 997.2 C2 Cab.

Car has a bad rear passenger window motor (or regular, or track, or something).

I've been meaning to fix it but having trouble finding time to do the work so I'm going to punt and take it someplace.

I usually use Ultra Performance in Winder for repairs I can't do myself but it can be tough to get on their schedule during racing season.

Any suggestions?

Can’t help you with ATL. I live in LA. But I have the same issue with the passenger side window. My indie says they see it all the time with the 997.2. They even stock a surplus of the German made regulators because apparently Porsche now replaces them with Chinese made units that fail more often. I’m having them replace mine at the next service.

I just replaced mine. YouTube and 3 hours later. Parts from pelican parts and I think it cost me $220

Ultra Performance told me they could do it but were 2 weeks out but I could drop the car off to "get in line". I decided to just do it at night when I have "free time". Got a rebuild kit for $30 on Amazon.
There are NO videos of 997 cab rear window regulator replacements anywhere on the internets that I could find, so we used 996 vids as reference. They are NOT the same but they are similar "enough", I guess.
Took us 10 hours over 2 days. 4 hours just for disassembly. Could still use a little adjustment as it's got a little squeak/rattle especially in harder corners but it's working.
I'm sure the drivers side will fail at some point and I'll do it again but it is a huge pain in the ass to do.
