911T - No lite weight glass
I noticed that on the new 911 T they give you the option to NOT get the lite weight side and rear glass.
Is there a disadvantage to the lite weight glass?
A reason not to get it?
TIA

Would it break or chip easier?

Probably just louder than standard glass. I think NOT getting it though is kind of missing part of the package of this car.

I would put my bet that it has to do with crash certification. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if you had to re-certify that glass.

Front glass in standard due to safety standards. Minimal noise from rear and sides. Less weight.
Theoretically - easier to break without a hammer but if someone is going to go to that length then you're screwed anyway.

991.2 GTS also has this lightweight rear glass, haven’t heard any complaints from these owners.
