I am not aware of anyone outside of Porsche doing this, which might force the insurer to pony up. Personally, I’m adding a glass PPF to mine to mitigate the stray rock hit. The replacement process sounds complicated enough that they could break something else while fixing the original problem.
A word of caution on insurance replacement - more and more insurers are taking the position that if your glass is replaced by Porsche with OEM glass, they will only reimburse you what the expense would have been using non-OEM glass and labor. I'm not saying don't file the claim. Just be...

Don't expect other carriers to handle it any differently. Once one makes a move like this, others follow to save claim dollars. They simply change their internal claims handling guidelines so they adjust the losses uniformly.
Agree with other posters. I got 225 briefly one time that quickly dropped to 150 and then gradually below 100. My typical experience at EA on a 350 is 130-160 to start and below 100 after I hit about 60%.

I bought this for my used, non-CPO 2021 Turbo. Was quoted these exact prices by my local dealer. Called around to other dealers and got what I wanted at a good discount. Shop around… the markup on this program gives the dealer a lot of latitude in what they charge you.
