Light weight glass is the future, it's just a blip. It will all be fine, please keep ordering lightweight glass, it'll be good. Think of all the noise you don't have, those 2db are pretty good.
I might or might not be associated with the lightweight glass business.

It could be worse. At least your car starts. Oops. I see you have a “T”. Sorry, I misspoke.

Yes, the same service dept is fixing it again. I'm convinced it's a glass issue. I opened my door, sat for a couple seconds gathering a couple things out of the car and heard a slight "pop." I looked at the glass and it was spidered-AGAIN. I was told the parts are ordered and will be here within 2 weeks. Last time it was 5 weeks. Fingers crossed.

Unsure but the LWG "problem" has been extant for a while.

Is it at all possible to request to replace with normal glass instead of the LWG?

No as per the Service Mgr.

The warranty replaces like-for-like only, so far as we've heard. Up until they see this as eating too deeply into profit and release a technical service bulletin saying otherwise, LWG is what we'll get under warranty. You can pay out of pocket for standard glass, but that might come with other warranty-related stipulations.

Yeah that's not why standard glass isn't offered it's bc it won't fit in the glass lifting mechanism.

Ah interesting. I hadn't realized they used a different window regulator. Good to know! I suppose what I had internalized was based solely on what I had read regarding the windshield.

Yeah, that's at least what I've been told by 2 different service managers (1st one just left, he was great too!)

Sorry for all your troubles OP. I am in the midst of configuring a 992 GTS, and am now second guessing the lightweight glass option. Does not seem worth the hassle, but also not sure how common this is.
