Default Thermally and noise-insulated glass: do you have it? Like it?

Anyone have the thermally and noise-insulated glass in their Panamera?

Can you please post the good (and the bad, if any,) and would you opt for it again?

Thanks.

I like it on my car. It does seem to keep the car cooler on hot days but it also comes with a windshield with only a very small area to place the EZ Pass transponder.

Same here. And it was wonderful how cool it kept the car while parked in 123°F Death Valley.

I have it. Love it. In my case mostly because of how much quieter the ride is. One thing I have heard is that if you tint your windows the thicker glass can cause issues with streaking the tint.

Is the glass darker than the regular glass the Panamera comes with?

I can’t say. Not sure I’ve seen a with/without pair side by side to be able to tell.

It’s a plus, mine has 3 things that I didn’t think care if had, but afterwards really really like; thermal/insulated glass, extended range fuel tank, heated steering wheel.
As pointed out if get windows tinted must put felt on inside top of door or it’ll scratch.

It's a great option - keeps the car cooler in the sun and quieter to suit the demeanor of the vehicle. As others have mentioned, felt is a must when tinting windows. The PO didn't do this and they were scratched so I had the tinting done correctly which involves removing the door panels to install the protective felt.
