RS.2 Rear Window Blow Out!
 

Driving home today, accelerating hard with my windows open and suddenly the rear window blows out! On inspection, it looks like it was not the whole window. Seriously - tell me this is a one off?

woah - that's nuts. you literally blew your windows out. next up.... doors?

any damage to the rear wing, etc?

I couldn't stand the wind buffering around in the RS when I was tracking it. Porsche should come up with some solution (possibly rear side windows opening) other than the window flying out. You may consider just leaving it out though lol ;)

do you have the light weight euro rear window?

yep - what concernes me is that its not the whole window that has come out (I could kind of understand that) - if you look at the pics, part of the window is still there - i assume where it was stuck down.

:(

It's one piece. The glue just held the edges there. It probably separated in one of the fatigue crests created by the continuous in-out flexing. Sort of like bending a rigid plastic many times to the point of failure.

Hopefully you didn't kill anybody driving behind you.

Get a new window and if you have comprehensive coverage, tell the insurance that God took it. : ) You may also try Porsche and your warranty.


ps. Can I say "I told you so"?

Do you have a center muffler bypass ans or single layer tip ?

Interesting .... I've never seen that in street cars, just on Cups.

Well at least the car is lighter....

nope

Same thing Happend to me a month ago with the .2 3 with plexi rear window.. Same scenario..

Wow, that's crazy

Just wow.

For once, maybe I am a fan of some of the DOT's restrictions...

pete

did you get porsche to replace under warranty?

No Porsche refused :)
