I appreciate everyone's input on the subject. Apparently Porsche has not yet come up with an effective adhesive, after having many problems as outlined with the prior adhesive they used. Champion Porsche is apparently using a different adhesive effectively. Porsche USA says they will not replace a windshield under warranty until their OEM adhesive is formulated, approved and released to the dealer network. They have not come up with a solution in the past six months! Unreal!
Ask this question.
If there is no approved windshield adhesive, why are the production lines still running?

Just had the problem start on my car yesterday. 2022 C2S. In a rainstorm it started to melt all over the windshield and the wipers just made a smeary mess. Actually, it could be dangerous in terms of visibility. I had to use alcohol to get it off. I guess I will be taking it in and trying to convince the dealer to fix it.

another well known issue is the rear tail light LED strip. When driving in heavy rain the water gets into the LED and shorts out the light. Only good news is my dealer had 7 in stock. Seems to be an issue in states like FL.
I have owned 5 Porsche 911’s, I expected more build quality on the 992. I was wrong. 😎

it’s a well known issue and under warranty. The issue I have been told from two dealerships is Porsche has the new “approved” product on back order to the dealership.

This sounds like NTSB recall territory now, if safety is being compromised.
