I'm totally down for another trip though! Would be cool to meet up and do some of the roads together.
definitely! Maybe one of these days I will get out to Arizona and drive the fun road there, it’s only 2-3 hours from me! Easy to get to in the morning on the weekend

Porsche fixed it immediately and covered it under warranty! I called on Tuesday and they ordered the glass, window arrived Thursday morning, and I was back on the road with a new window Thursday afternoon!!

That's fantastic to hear. I was worried since the recall letter said they were still waiting for a remedy to be available and the service manager at Burlington confirmed that was the case as well when I asked last month.

Your car is way more special than you probably realize! More pictures please. Every 992 T in PTS color is something very special.

Good for you, it took 5 weeks for my first glass replacement and two weeks for the second one. They're finally getting up to speed with complaints to fixes ratio being shorter apparently.

If I'm not mistaken, the recall letter and the glass shattering are mutually exclusive. The recall letter I thought dealt with improper sealing of the glass by the factory. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Good point Scott, I'm not sure, I figured they may both be related to problematic glass. I'll stop worrying and continue to enjoy the car.
