My side window cracked when tint was being applied.
Porsche dealer ordered new glass...the replacement piece that was ordered was cracked.
Been waiting 1.5 weeks and being told at least another week for replacement

Hang on, are you saying the glass broke, the replacement also broke and you are waiting for another one?

Sometimes these are the things us early adopters (first allocations of the first year model run) have to go along with and work through. I've had no issues so far. and hopefully when the car comes back out in March/April my streak continues.

I thought only Mclaren glass on early 720's and early 600LT's cracked lol, now Porsche?! But in all seriousness, I hope they get this issue fixed quickly. With the glass cracking on the early 720's and 600LT's it was found to be a manufacturing issue from the glass supplier, not a design with the cars themselves. Issue was resolved, Mclaren replaced glass that had cracked (on some cars it cracked multiple times) and now no more cracking from the updated glass. My GT3 arrives in July so I hope this issue is resolved before then. Its probably the same issue Mclaren had is my guess, manufacturing issue from the glass supplier.

I feel the frustration of the replacement part, but to you and others that have had this issue... Did the dealer give you any fuss about this? I'm assuming that normally windows wouldn't be their problem. Obviously this is ridiculous if they're spontaneously cracking, but I'm wondering if people have had a hard time with dealers about this.

Someone mentioned in a thread here that this glass could not be addressed on cars still being built until 2023 MY, for some regulatory reason. Can anyone corroborate that? I was hoping that the issue would be limited to the earliest cars produced.

My impression was that all glass was lightweight except the windshield. Seems that's not right either with the number of cracked windshields.

Update
Quick status update; I opened a case with PCNA and had the service manager at my dealership look at the windshield. Dealer quickly identified it as a defect and I'm told Porsche will cover the cost. Hopefully this is another data point Porsche will use to identify and resolve the root cause.
