Condition
This document addresses various cracks in the lightweight exterior glass panes of the 911.
This document is not applicable to cracks caused by external influence.
This document only applies to vehicles with the option VW4 – Lightweight and Noise Insulated Glass.
Technical Background
The various types and causes of cracks in the lightweight exterior glass panes of the 911 are outlined below.
Door glass: Cracks in the top corner (driver or passenger side)
Figure 1 - Door glass: cracks in the top corner
There are two main causes for this condition:
->
The door glass is misaligned, which can cause contact between the door glass and the rear quarter glass, or
->
Force applied to the glass (i.e., instead of the door sill) throughout the door closing process can bend the
glass enough to cause contact with the rear quarter glass, despite a proper window alignment with no force
applied.
Updated lightweight door glass parts have been developed to address this complaint. Please see the Door glass:
cracks in the top corner section of the Service Information for repair instructions.
