Sorry that happened, but aren't Porsche windows tempered? On all cars that I know of, the side and rear windows wouldn't crack like that. they would shatter into hundreds of pieces.

Unless the "crack" you're describing is more like a scratch or an etching. I've had that happen when I accidentally rubbed my then-diamond-encrusted wedding band along the window. I now have a Tungsten Carbide ring :-).

Perhaps something was caught between the door frame and the window and as the window rolled up, it rubbed against it and got itself scratched?
