I had mine replaced last week. No issue at all with warranty cover.

Strange that it’s been damaged like that… do I need to worry but water leaking in anywhere etc?
Also if that part needed to be replaced, does that mean they need to replace the whole windscreen? Is that section just a rubber seal they can pull out from under? Tried to find diagrams of the part, but haven’t come across any.

No mention of any TSB or similar on the paperwork, all it took from me was a 'by the way' via email after I dropped the car off.

Just collected my car from the OPC after leaving it for them for 2 weeks and noticed this on the bottom left hand side of the windscreen.
MY21 992 C4S
Am I starting to get the same issue mentioned in the thread or did someone at the OPC gorge my windscreen with a tool when ‘cleaning’ or whatever they were doing… it not soft or gooey.

This is a known defect and just had mine replaced under warranty.

My 2020 S was replaced last month. Suncoast had to take pictures in November and file with Porsche comfort for approval. Replacement went smooth, looks like a different seal at the top of the windshield now.

Anyone had their windshield replaced and come back with wind noise from the replacement ? I had my windshield replaced per above , and now above 45mph there is a “whistling” noise coming from the top edge of the glass; and once above 70mph the noise just becomes evidently more of a wind noise etc.
I have an appt to bring it back to the dealer next week. It’s such a hassle and pain as the replacement “looks” great, but the noise ..

Good to hear this is a known issue as I was just about to post this! Noticed the same on my 21 C2S when I recently washed it. Was drying it with a microfiber towel and the towel was full of what seemed like black tar, super annoying! Thanks all! will call my SA.

Does every 992 owner have this issue or is it just for some cases? Starting to get worried of my upcoming targa.
