Safelite a couple years ago. A new windshield is nothing spectacular and out here, the guys that do them I'm sure they've done a couple of P-cars in the same week.

Make sure that they use OEM glass, from Porsche. Ask for experienced installers familiar with Porsche install. Some may sound cheaper, but they may be using glass made in China. Fit is the most inportant of all factors. They should also use approved sealant, and replace all moulding and seals. Take a few minutes to wipe off the dashboard and apply a sun protectant while glass is off. They will need to take apart some of the plastic just inside the hood, a good time to replace the cabin filter. Make sure the inside of the glass is really clean, sometimes it sits around a warehouse and gets dirty with dust.

Default You will need the oem molding

I bought the oem molding, I believe it is 3 seperate pieces and the I had a local speed shop do it. Came out great but do not cheap out on the window trim. I think the trim was around 70.00 and the windshield close to 400.00 installed.
