I’m still waiting for my drivers side window and rear quarter… kind of annoying it’s been 3 month and still no date….

well…we’ll see if it actually gets delivered.

this is troubling 😳

Got my rear quarter panel, no primary driver window yet though. Service guy said maybe 3 more weeks. Car is drivable again though.

I had the Goodyears on my 992 Turbo S. Lasted 3 track days . What are you using now and how is the daily drive. The reason I ask is after all the recent negative reviews about the 992 GT3 as a daily driver, it seems it comes down to tires. Michelin cup 2 vs Pirelli P zero Coras

So I was looking at the glass in my car in the weekend, and frankly, I am a bit puzzled about the "lightweight" nature of this glass. Looking that the glass in the doors, I don't see that being any thinner than glass in other cars. Yes, it's thinner than the über thick slabs found in the Taycan, but compared to other sports cars, it looks very normal. If anything, I'd say it's thicker than what is used in a Ferrari 488 or F8 for example. Does anyone have a regular 992 to compare glass thickness to? Just curious about what aside from the Plexiglass in the rear makes it lighter? The door glass is definitely two bonded pieces and at least 5 mm thick. Any thoughts on this?

Cup 2s Are definitely much more harsh than the Goodyears or Pirellis on public roads. I have run all 3 on my GT3 and would recommend if not tracking to stay away from the Cup 2s

I'm on the Michelin cup 2.. The roads in my town are generally really nice and I am accustomed to the rough ride in GT3 having had one in the garage for many years.. That being said, I'm the wrong person to ask because I've only ever run the Michelin, out of ignorance I guess. I just put what the factory puts on it.

Even at the same thickness, if they replace part of the volume of the otherwise solid glass with polymer layers (glue / films), the glass is technically lighter. I believe this is all they're really doing for at least the door glass.

Its a compound made of two layers stuck together. One layer is glass and the other is some type of lighter polymer. Probably contributes to the breaking glass syndrome a lot of 992GT3 seems to be afflicted with.

My drivers side window just arrived. Quick turnaround 👌

awesome, if they tell you anything about how the previous alignment was from the factory or anything else the techs notice, please share!

The windows were definitely misaligned, confirmed by PCNA as the cause. No info on why or how.
There’s no recall as of now, and the replacement glass is the same lightweight part I started with.

We should try and see if any touring owners have misalignment issues. It’s easy to see when you know to look for it. The windows are wayyy too close and even make contact when you close the door slowly.

My car was the very first car delivered at my dealer, so I think it’s safe to assume it was in the first general USA bound production run. If they solved it already, maybe the second round of winged deliveries at end of Q4 were fixed already so PCNA is confident they plugged the issue. And know exactly how many cars were affected.

Dropping the car tomorrow for the replacement, back on the road same day 🤙 all Gucci.

^^^Thanks for this post. Appreciate you closing the loop and helping the rest of us out. I’ve kept a good eye on mine since seeing these threads and it’s nice to know what I should be looking for!

WELL let me tell you about why the loop remains open. While the dealer was replacing the driver side main door window, they noticed my passenger side quarter panel is cracked 😂😂😂😂 so that’s 3 out of 6 windows broken.
car awaits yet another replacement.
