Stress crack in side window

[cd77]

I was off on vacation. My MY24 SportTurismo stood outside in the cold. Lowest temperature was something like -8 degrees Celsius.
When I got into my car for the first time after my return yesterday morning I noticed a stress crack going diagonally across the side window of the passenger seat.
i tried to capture it in the attached video.
This morning I went to my Porsche Center to have them take a look. So that they can also judge that there was no foreign object etc causing it but that it’s actually a stress crack.
It’s only running through the outer pane. They had never seen anything like it. They only know stress cracks from the panoramic roofs.
their hypothesis is that the clamp holding the window in the door near the sideview mirror was titghtened with too high a torque and together with the thermal stress caused the crack.
Now they have their warranty guy check whether it falls under warranty. Hell yeah, I’d say!!!!
Anybody else had that???

Hi. I had the same thing happen! What all transpired with your crack?

Bah, I just had the same thing happen. Except mine was in a temperature controlled, secured garage for about 2 weeks, so temperature was not a factor.
I just posted it here and then noticed this on a search.

Did you all get any resolution via warranty?

Yes mine was covered under warranty. They didn’t offer up any explanation though. I don’t think temp was an issue for my window.

Good for you. I called the local dealerships and they're all initially denying this will be covered under warranty. If you do recall any explanation they gave you, please do share. Thanks.

The fact that the crack is in between the inside and outside surfaces was a factor in coverage AND I told them that there was already a thread on this issue in Taycan forums (cd77’s). Good luck. The dealership here (Porsche Bellevue) has been really good I have to say. They are an Auto Nation dealership.

Are all these with the insulated glass and the crack is in the inner insulating membrane?

I don't know about all, but mine is.
