It almost looks like bubbles in the tint. I would show it to your service advisor. Quite possible it's under warranty. Replacing glass is a routine job, but if you feel it's too invasive then you have to make a choice to live with it or get it done.

 

Given their location and size, I’d leave them. They’d be my eye testing going forward, when I can no longer find them, time for a new prescription.

 

It's something I would live with. Like you said, more problems may be created by trying to replace the glass. The door panel is going to have to come off to replace the passenger window so I would be worried about trim pieces being damaged to access retaining screws, any plastic retaining clips that retain the door panel to the body panel being damaged, etc. You might be left with squeaks and rattles in the door panel. The more times you take something apart and put it back together, it just doesn't go back together like it does when it was brand new.

I also had a windshield replaced on a non-Porsche vehicle several years ago and I eventually had rust develop at the corner of the A-pillar and roof near the windshield. I can't prove it but I'm guessing the paint was scratched when the old windshield was removed.

I'm probably just as anal about cars as you are, but sometimes its just not worth the risk. Then again, I'm new to the Porsche family and maybe their service techs are a lot more careful.

 

Looks like contamination was present when the glass was laminated during manufacturing. I would personally leave it alone.

 

I'm with nevil...are you sure those aren't tint bubbles?

 

I'm not sure what they are. The factory "tinted" windows don't have a film on them - it's something in the lamination of the glass (doesn't look like a bubble, looks like contamination in the lamination process).

Anyway, thanks everyone for the feedback. At this point I'm going to live with it.

 

Personally, I would leave well enough alone. The risk might outweigh the reward.

 

I would live with the imperfections as compared to removing the windshield. Could end up with much worse issues.

 

Do you have the thermal and noise insulated glass option? If so your window is two pieces of glass with three layers of film sandwiched between the two glass sheets and that is where the bubble is. I'd leave it alone if it does not effect your vision. No one else will notice.

 

Stuff like that can drive me crazy even though in my mind I know its trivial. Sometimes to get over it I'll estimate what it would cost to fix and instead of paying for it or arguing with someone over fixing it I'll just donate that estimated amount to some charity. That way a little good came out the annoyance and I'll actually feel better when I happen to see it.
