Apparently it's been going on for years and when you bring it to the dealer they'll say you caused it by using some forbidden car shampoo or cleaner.
They have never heared of (Customer Retention) apparently.

Otherwise, why would they treat customers like this. I have been a Porsche client since 2011. Bought many cars since that 😤

Semi-off-topic, I've heard in stories dealing with telecoms in America (specifically AT&T) that their "office of the president" is fairly attentive to complaints about poor customer experiences and tend to be able to resolve . I wonder if Porsche has a similar organization that you can escalate a complaint to. I agree that "this must have been caused by an external factor" is bull****. My company just moved us into a brand new office building, and three times now they've had a window randomly shatter, unprompted. I've had shower glass shatter unprompted as well. Yes, something went wrong, but there's no more reason to believe it was an outside force than that your window glass, gasket, housing, or something else about how the car rolled off the assembly line caused this.

The most hilarious thing they asked me to prove that there were no external factors caused this 🤣.
by common sense they are the expert and should be able to prove the other way around

Sadly the same thing happened to me with my 2018 GT3...it was parked in a storage facility near the track and did the exact same thing. Porsche refused to fix it.

May I ask what that costs to replace a rear windshield on a 991?
