May be you can try to bufff it out. I found a 3 in scratch on our right window that looked very bad, probably because of the dark background (tinted). I googled and found cerium oxide can remove glass scratches and the lesser choice is metal polish. I was going to order some cerium oxide but decided to try Blue Magic metal polish with a Demel i have at home this afternoon. I couldnt believe how easy it was to minimize the scratch. The line was still there but only visible from an angle. I didnt check from the inside though.

Leave it alone if it's no bothering your line of sight. If/when it develops into a crack, get it replaced at Porsche. Usually covered 100% by comp. auto insurance.
