Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Safelite replaced the windshield on my 99 996 on Friday. They installed an OEM windshield including a new exterior molding. Looked great and professionally finished. I also noticed the interior was quieter while driving on the freeway. However, when I arrived at work the OEM alarm did not react the way it normally does. The red LED light on the protruding piece on the dashboard stopped flashing and now the continuous flash comes from two red bars in front of that protruding piece. When the doors are locked the two bars flash at a rapid pace for a few seconds and then change to a slower pace. Also, I thought there was another flashing red LED coming from the radio. That has also stopped. I haven't owned the car long enough (3 weeks) to remember the alarm details, but I thought the LED flash came from the top "button" of that dashboard piece? I contacted Safelite and made an appointment to have them look at my car next week. However, I can't imagine the technician diagnosing the problem without having to pull off the windshield again and knowing the electrical details of a Porsche alarm. I had no idea windshield replacement would have affected the alarm. I'm going drive the car a couple of times and see if everything resets.

POST 2Original post

It might be a good idea to take it to a Porsche place and have them check over your alarm system. It may have to be re-set after a window replacement. Ring them. They will know. It only cost me $80 for them to re-set mine which had 'slipped back' into sports car delivery mode. The radio code may also have to be re-entered if the battery was disconnected. Porsche places have the correct diagnostic testers.

POST 3Original post

I would check for scratches on both fenders!! Looks like the cowl is sandwiched between the frunk lid and fenders...
