Don’t see why not, checked and the gel coating is on the inside, outside is glass, apart from the windscreen I spray autoglym aqua wax on the rest and it beads real nice.

I went back and forth on this option and here not sure if I could have gotten it anyway. My build was submitted several weeks ago and locked this past Friday so I might have been able to as it looks like the stop sale is for newer orders.
However, while I didn’t get to test the option and like RAS this is a must have and leave off depending on who you talk to, my decision to leave it off was:
1. Most of what I heard is that it was not that noticeable a difference.
2. I listen to music enough but don’t expect concert hall acoustics in a car that the music will overcome some of the road noise anyway.
3. My hearing isn’t the greatest, so how much am I going to improve my experience.
But most importantly my SA said these three things:
1. His experience was that it was not that noticeable. Nice. But not a must have option.
2. Replacement is somewhat more expensive and where I live we get chipped / cracked windshields and have to replace them.
3. Getting a replacement of this glass may be more difficult due to supply.
Having said that there are those who rave about it, and unfortunately I was not able to test drive a car with it.

Well, as of this morning, with the launch of the 2022 Configurator, the question of whether or not one should option the Noise Cancelling Glass has been put to rest.
It is no longer available. For those who were able to get it, you folks have very rare builds!

I am so glad I was able to get this option. Other than the noise reduction which I do find noticable subjectively as well as with a dB meter, the slight weight renduction where it realy maters (up high), something not often noticed is the absence of visible rear window defoger wires.

Would take a picture but the dealer has it for rattles, will take a picture later of the filaments in the glass

Has anyone recently taken delivery or has one "on the boat" with the Noise Insulated Glass? The reason I ask is that I have a C2S on order with that option. Originally V200 in mid January with planned production March 9. In Canada we don't seem to get TYD, just the 4 "phase" part on My Porsche.
The Sales Manager called Germany and was told the order is now waiting for "a part" and delayed planned production is now April 30.
If the delay is for the now discontinued Glass option I would have deleted it.
Anyhow, wondering if I'll actually eventually get my car with "the glass" even though it is no longer available for the 2S

mine is scheduled for production April 23rd with the lightweight glass option.
I haven’t been notified of any delays. Fingers crossed.
