My understanding is that it’s not the windshield but the adhesive. Is this correct?

Has anyone compiled a complete list of the differences between the 992 Carrera T and the 992 Carrera (base)? Not just the advertised features highlighted by Porsche, but the other distinctive features that various Carrera T owners have pointed out in this thread and elsewhere on Rennlist. I'm asking because the following post from @detansinn got me wondering about a statement he made in a different thread:
I never considered PDK, so I hadn't previously worked through the value proposition of the 992 Carrera T with PDK versus the base Carrera. So his post got me curious. My knee-jerk reaction was to disagree, but then I gave it more consideration. The best way to measure the validity of his assertion would be with a complete list of base versus T differences, and then to compare the two models as equipped with PDK. My sense is that the PDK Carrera T is still more bang for the buck as long as you want the additional options baked into the T, but I'd like to review a complete list of differences to make a more balanced assessment.
IMHO, if you're buying a 992 Carrera T with a PDK, you're doing it wrong. With the 992.1 generation, the T exists so that you can get a manual transmission with the Base engine -- and almost all of the weight savings come from that manual gearbox. Sure, you get access to some options not available on the Base car, but with a PDK T, you're getting precious little included that's worth the $10,500 upcharge over a Base Carrera.

Here is a list of the differences that are baked into the T as standard equipment (I may be missing some):
PASM Sport Suspension and Sprot Chrono Package as standard
Mechanical limited slip differential w/PTV
GT Sport steering wheel
Sport Exhaust System
Four-way Sport Seats Plus
Carrera S wheels
Lightweight glass
Less sound deadening to reduce weight
Ability to delete rear seats
Lithium Ion battery on 23' models and some 24' models
For me, these options make the T and I wouldn't want to get a base car without them.

Oh and sport-tex seat centers paired with "911" headrest embroidery exclusive to the T.

PASM Sport Suspension- (larger springs, sway bars, and added "S" front Splitter)...rough guess of $2500
Sprot Chrono - $2790
Sport Exhaust (Black tips) - $2950
Mechanical (manual)or Electrical (PDK) limited slip differential w/PTV- rough guess of $3000
GT Sport steering wheel- $330
Four-way Sport Seats Plus- $810
Carrera S wheels in Agate gray or Black- $3080
Lightweight glass- $1250
Less sound deadening to reduce weight-$0
Ability to delete rear seats-$0
Agate gray logo and decals-$300
Lithium Ion battery on 23' models and some 24' models -$400
TOTAL-$17,410
I'm seeing almost $18k in additional options if you could build a Base with "T" parts...so with only a $10k msrp difference between a standard Base and a "T", the "T" is a bargain!

I just ordered a T fellas! Haven't had a 911 for a while. It's my first spec of my own. Tried to do it as light weight as possible. Would have gotten PCCB but no more. I had a 991.2 Carrera T so I'm excited to compare them.
