I thought it would be a visual inspection. If I'd known they'd have to remove the windshield to test for this, I'd have asked them not to do it.

They already resealed it once, I guess they were 2x lazy and didn't look at the paperwork/history before when doing it at the last minute.

So they have to break it first and then determine
if it broke correctly or still poses a risk? If front windshield doesn’t break move to rear window and proceed with breaking it.

Same scenario for me. I'm not interested in fixing something that is not broken.

Just got back from Belgium tonight with 5.5 crates worth of beer (actually 2 crates and the rest loose bottles packed by the wife who happens to like puzzles).

I borrowed a 992 for a weekend before I placed the order and the frunk only takes one crate. It does hold 3 bags of pig nuts quite nicely though.

I did protect the back of the seat with a jacket, but only after grinding the front spoiler at the bottom of the brewery underground car park despite creeping down super slowly. Good way of testing your clutch control skills with a hill start in reverse and a pile of cash burned if it rolls forward a tad 😂.

My recall notice said there was no proven fix at this point

Mine was inspected before I received the letter as it was in for an oil change and I asked about it.

The fix is to not let them touch it if you aren’t having any issues. I’m really disappointed in Porsche for making this a mass recall, but I’m sure you just plug in the data and software mandates a recall.

Mine was already changed as the rear view mirror fell off
Something to do with the bond to the glass failing at the mounting pad

I was planning to tint all my windows right after picking up this week, both front windshield and rear glass. Perhaps it would be prudent for me to wait a bit and make sure I don't have defective glass.

I was having my winters swapped for summers at the dealer and they "tested" it using this method and instantly caused a crack through the windshield...ended up in dealership jail for a week and with the Mrs. wanting a new Cayenne after driving the loaner!

If you can avoid the "test" would recommend it.

Now have 400 miles on my T and despite not revving it out yet during break-in, it's already a sweetheart to drive. Loving it!

A couple things I'd like to ask other T owners on this thread:

1) Just noticed a turbo whistling sound off idle when doing slow parking maneuvers. It's actually not noticeable outdoors especially with windows up but yesterday, I had the windows and roof open and noticed this sound while backing into an indoor parking garage spot. Sounds like what a turbodiesel truck would sound like when light throttle is applied. I figured this is probably normal sounds from a T which obviously has turbos and sport exhaust, but thought I'd ask here anyway.

2) After initial start-up and engine revs go down, I noticed a high-pitched sound only noticeable from the rear engine while standing outside and directly behind the car while engine is idling. Sounds like a constant "beeping" sound and for a second I thought it was my parking sensors from inside the car, but it definitely wasn't that. Probably normal too?

Anyhow, I really do love the lack of sound insulation the T has and enjoying all the other mechanical sounds and noises while driving - especially the small rocks smacking around the unlined wheel wells

@masmole I love the turbo whistle sound I put BMC filters on my car shortly after getting her home. I wanted to hear that sound easier. Eventually will do the 200 cell SOUL cats.

1. Turbo whistle just off idle is very normal.

How can anyone not ❤️ the T, ha. Regarding the whistle sound, skip to 30 second mark of this vid. It’s Turbo whistles if that’s what you’re referring. Beautiful thang. 😆
