Rear (plastic) window split -- above temp thresh outside.

Technically the advice I have may not be "legal". Im not sure either way but, try calling the insurance adjuster and tell him your back window is cracked and you were'nt present when it happened. Take it to the Porsche dealership for a quote and fax it to the insurance company. They'll subtract the deductable and mail you a check for the differance. With your check buy a top from ebay plastic($400 +/-) or glass($700 +/-) have a descent shop install the top (approx $350-400). So your total will range from $750-$1100. I think the Porsche quote will be somewhere in the $2000 range, i've never checked. It may sound a bit petty but it might be an option for you. I guess it depends how flexible your ins. company is. Another option is to just have another plastic window sewn in for a reasonable price. If you have a local auto upholsterer stop by and ask them for a qoute. The labor is pretty much the same as the full install plus i'd say $50 for plastic. It just so happens my top cracked much the same way. I'll have a new glass top installed sometime before spring. I am a little worried about my premium going up if I file a claim on it. I will just pay out of pocket. Good luck w/ what ever route you take.
