Afternoon all,
Did a bit of searching on here and found good and bad experiences of all 911 owners having mixed experiences of an AutoGlass windscreen replacement. I have a drivers side chip that's been with the car since purchase and passed the MOT last year. Although Ive not had the car in extreme temperature changes, feel it may have expanded slightly to 10mm and therefore maybe not (allegedly) repairable. It's under my line of sight, just below the steering wheel and reading comments, I'd rather have a repair than a replacement, but they will be bringing one just in case.
After reading The Essential 996 Companion this week, it appears the 996 wscreen has an antenna built in. Will the replacement have this/is it needed (yes, I assume if I want a good radio reception) I assume this is a common theme amongst car windows to save a separate aerial and that he will hook it all up correctly? I looked for any signs of Porsche branding on the current wscreen, but cannot see any, but can clearly see the thin yellow lines, which I assume is the antenna, aforementioned? Some of the threads here (older ones though) talk about it being the same brand, replacements, just not badged. I want to keep the car as stock as possible, so would rather the actual repair, which is what Im going to push for.
Anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Mark
