Getting ready for my 4th session at the Sebring Chin event yesterday I noticed a fracture that looks like a large tennis racket. It is on the interior layer of the new glass. I decided not to run for obvious safety reasons and plan to take the car in tomorrow. Any one else experience this problem?

That's Gorilla Glass, right? If there's no surface damage on the outside (or inside) but there's some sort of fracture on the interior layer, that's pretty obvious nothing actually hit it. So hopefully it's covered under warranty.

I wish they used gorilla glass for the windshield.

No impact point interior or exterior, so I assume stress crack. Should be warranty.

Saw this on many .2s in Europe, it seems the gorilla glass can do this. Not sure if it will be covered, it wasn't with the Swedish guys I ran with at spa but I could be wrong

Happened to me too. Crack is from the inside. I kept driving with no problems. Might have to ask them to just give me regular glass if this keeps happening. Porsche must be exaggerating how much they actually test these cars.

I traced the crack outline.

Suncoast said window is covered by warranty. Ordered the replacement.

orthojoe

Same here. Problem now is what to do when it cracks again. Seems inevitable

Hmm... I wonder if I can acquire that here in the US...

Crap, I hate those annoying little things that consume time to take the car to a dealer. Mclaren is looking more and more attractive

Joe,
We can get the .1 rear window, but we have to pay for it. We can keep replacing the gorilla under warranty.

Good to know

Thanks. question is if the glass keeps breaking, it turns into a constant pita to have to go back to the dealer.
