Porsche Cayman Insurance

[mic]

I had a quote from AIB yesterday and when I asked about the Porsche windscreen replacement to keep the warranty I was told that it doesn’t need to be a Porsche windscreen. Someone at the company owns a Porsche and a non genuine part will not invalidate the warranty.

Just out off interest tried LV for a multi car policy as some on here recommend them .
Boxster 986 3.2 s + Boxster Spyder 987 + Skoda 1.9d Yeti =£640 With Aviva at present £ 671 but their Xcess is £150 more each vehicle.

Rubbish.

If anything connected to the windscreen (antenna/GPS/ADAS device/rain and light sensor) goes into fault, and they see it's a non-genuine windscreen, warranty will kick the car out.

Any pointers to which company will insure and cover fitting a Porsche OE screen?

Admiral allowed me to use my OPC to fit an OE screen a few years ago, but not sure if their policy has changed since then.

Must have been more than a few years ago; Autoglass is the current contracted repairer and before that it was National Windscreens.

Admiral have an exception whereby a car up to three (might be four, ICR) years old 'qualifies' for genuine replacement glass, presumably to keep inline with OEM warranty. It's a rule which makes little sense when you consider that older cars can still 'qualify' for genuine parts. The difference being, you have to crash the car to get them:
