Rubber Seal Deteriorating Around Windshield

Probably $3000 plus...and only original 4 year/50K warranty covers it. CPO doesn't. I was told that when speaking by phone with PCNA Atlanta.

I saw there is a recall on the wind shield and back glass but Porsche won’t start contacting the owners until mid April. Your car might be covered under the recall.

IMO it’s an aesthetic issue with the rubber seal, so maybe drive it more and after you get some rock chips etc, do it then since you’re paying out of pocket anyway

The dealer outsources windshield replacements, I’ve seen the OEM go for around $1k or so, get the dealer to recommend who they use. Then once done have the dealer re calibrate your camera (should be 1-2 hour dealer labor time charge)… so my estimate is $2-2500.

Just to help with some of the misinformation. Some dealers outsource the repair and Some do NOT (100% in house by Porsche tech). Just ask your preferred dealer if this is something important to you, how they do it.

Any idea when this will be an official recall from Porsche? I just checked my vin on recall.porsche.com and there are no open recalls. I have a 2016 911.
My bad I see this is for the 992. Please delete.

It's not rubber; it's polyurethane sealant.
I can't even see it in those photos. If it were my car, I would clean the smear with some denatured alcohol and leave it otherwise alone.
I think getting the windshield removed and replaced risks getting leaks or damage to the body of the car. I have had a car develop rust around the windshield in the corners after windshield replacement.

Just had mine replaced. MY 21. SA said my CPO would not have covered it if I had brought in after 2025. Don’t know if this is true as previous post said it was CPO covered.
