Thanks, I’m going to ask my glass guy what he plans to use on Monday when I schedule it. He comes recommended from my independent Porsche specialist so
I feel comfortable with his recommendations. Also, the “star” I had In my windshield Thursday night becas a 6 inch horizontal crack all on its own while the car was parked on Friday. I went out for a drive in it today and the crack didn’t get any longer, but I’m curious to see if it grows some more tonight.

I stood outside my car again and looked at the windshield where a rock came from a truck heading the opposite direction and caused a chip in the glass. It's about the size of a nickel. When I heard the noise I did not see anything in my vision. However after looking the windshield over I found the spot. It's about 1" above the windshield wiper far left on the drivers side.

The new Trim Frame and Seal along with the OEM Windshield from Porsche cost 692.10. My insurance company says "No deductible!"

I now have to drive 80 miles to the Dealership for the install. I might also mention the Glass company said I could not drive the car for two hours. This is the second Windshield claim. The other was a rock 5 years ago on the wife's VW.
