Has anyone had any issues trying to get this covered under CPO warranty? I just bought my 2020 C4S last November with 13k miles and discovered several places on my windshield where the seal is deteriorating. I’m in Orange County, CA as well.

I purchased a CPO'd 23 4S at Porsche Irvine and was told if the windshield adhesive showed signs of deterioration it would be replaced under warranty. You may want to call their service dept and see what they say.

Hmm, looks like yours being 2023 would still be under the standard manufacturer warranty so I’d assume you’re safe. Just CPO I would bet they’re very picky about what they want to cover, or to charge a couple hundred diagnostic fee. I was almost charged that fee to check out my low coolant warning, but I just topped it off and all is good. Do you happen to remember the service advisor who you spoke to about the problem? Giving them a call would be worth a shot either way, thanks!

CPO Should definitely be covered. Only if it's out of warranty then it might be a challenge. But this is a well known issue for 911 since 991.1 generation so technically the dealer should hopefully help you out.

I was hesitant to have it done, but with a year left on my factory coverage I had the glass replaced. I have CPO as well so I had asked about getting it done later and was told no.

My service advisor told me Porsche (Canada) will not cover this after factory warranty has expired, and no coverage during the CPO extended term.
I was hesitant to have it done, but with a year left on my factory coverage I had the glass replaced. I have CPO as well so I had asked about getting it done later and was told no.

And what is their explanation of why the moulding is melting if they are not going to cover it?

Just saw this happening to my 718 Spyder and made an appointment with my dealership. I sent them the NHTSA bulletin on the 992 so hopefully they're willing to replace it under warranty. My car was purchased as a CPO but the original warranty doesn't expire until July. *Fingers crossed*

Anyone know the US cost of replacement (not under warranty)?
