Porsche Arrogance?

Glassman, my Cayman has a Pilkington screen (I'm happy with that); could it have been the original fitting, and is the date of manufacture shown somehow?
The 987 and 987.1 windscreens are Porsche branded:If it doesn't bear the Porsche hallmark, with rare exception, it isn't the same as one that does. Look at the Pilkington logo you'll see a dot above the 'L' which indicates the Pilkington windscreen in your car was manufactured in Aken, Germany which is the old SIGLA plant, now an acquired brand of NSG Pilkington.
In terms of the quality, it's probably the best non-genuine you can get.
For reasons unknown to anyone outside of Porsche, the later 982/718 models the windscreens (and body glass) do not bear the [Porsche] emblem.

The windscreen excess on my Taycan is £2000 . Fact .
Makes no sense. It means you will be paying more than the insurer. No point in claiming if you're paying most, if not all the bill. Glassman said:

Thanks very much for all that. Every day's a school day - especially for me!If it doesn't bear the Porsche hallmark, with rare exception, it isn't the same as one that does.
