Do you happen to know if a non-lightweight glass front windshield will fit on a 992 GT3 RS?

The 992 GT3RS has a lightweight front windshield? Oh man, the regular windshields cracks easily enough I can't image how quickly any lightweight ones will crack.

Took about 8k miles before mine broke.

raymort

HI Renlister,

I took deliver of my GT3 in April 2022 and Porsche HK are claiming that this issue was not relevant on my batch of VIN and are not covering the warranty.

I have taken this up with contact@porsche.de, who have passed in onto HK and Macau service center. This is their response:

Our management has received your opinion through email.
There may be some cases found in the forum, but the factory will release a campaign if there are potential issues with the car. Having checked the openings of factory campaigns under this VIN, there are no related campaigns which relating to the glass.

After the management discussion, they would like to offer 20% off the glass replacement for you.🙏🏻🙏🏻

I wrote back and refuted their claim:Please be advised that I do not accept your response that there is no defect per my particular VIN batch. Given that my car was delivered in April 2022 and with reference to the defect that was mentioned in the “behind the Glass” podcast – per the link I provided in my below email, I would highlight that Sam Fane, from “Seen through glass” and “Behind the glass” received delivery of his GT3 early this year around Feb 2023.

I would dispute that a defect realized in a later built car that was not occurring in an earlier built car, does not make sense. In Sam Fane’s case, the window was replaced under warranty. Please confirm in writing that the Porsche AG used a different window in 2022 delivered cars compared to 2023 such that there was no defect in the window that was fitted to my car, but now there is a defect appearing in 2023 delivered cars.

I still insist that there was no rock hitting my car – I am the only person that drives my car and would know of such occurrence. The defect was realized when I was cleaning my car and if there was any debris stuck to the crack of my window, it was material from my chamois, not a rock!

Any advice on who I can take this up with in Porsche AG, would be appreciated - thanks in advance

3 days after delivery my rear glass cracked, no impact, no ETA for delivery from Germany.

I have not broken mine, but have seen 2 or 3 break and everytime it was someone pushing the car into a spot with a hand on the glass.

Just happened to mine this morning. UGH. Only 600 miles on it too.

Dont put your palms on these glass when leaning into your cars to grab anything from the back, i heard just the pressure alone will crack these glass.

07CarreraS

That's exactly what happened. Didn't know nor expect that.

Just took it in today to replace the driver's side rear quarter glass and it was covered under warranty. They told me it's a $3,500 window!

Notes from the dealer:
Found left rear window cracked. Crack seems to originate from hold down post tension. Replace left rear window.

Is lightweight windshield and rear glass RS only ? I get rock chips all the time and I'm worried about breaking windshields.

Last night I discovered the drivers side rear glass on my 992 Touring is cracked. Bummer
