Default siant gobain sekurit winshield

I was cleaning my windshiled and all the windwows in detail and noticed all the glasses said saint gobain sekurit, isaid toi my self wtf, it does not say porsche on any one of them. i did some research and they are one of the best OEM glass manufactures for cars, with hitech properties in them, like thermal , uv acustics , etc. vow no wonder the car cost so much . LOL. but all in all the none of the glass panels or the windshield say porsche on it. just curious and FYI

Correct spelling is Saint-Gobain, company created in the 17th century. Their glass is used on many cars in Europe.
Porsche is more into design/marketing and final assembly at this point.

I'm guessing the OP is new to Porsches......either that or it's the first time he's ever cleaned his windows

No problem. Welcome. It is customary for new folks to post pics of their new cars.

I was going to guess on not having cleaned the windows....it's the one thing that most people avoid (since getting them clean without streaks is a bit of a challenge, especially for those who own garage queens....no names )

After reading this, I had to go look, because I noticed the other day that the windshield says Czech Republic on it. Windshield is in fact, Sekurit made in Czech Republic, Side windows are Sekurit made in Germany, and the cab rear window doesn't say who or where.
