Default Right rear quarter window cracked - 2022 GTS

I was detailing cars today and after finishing our 22 GTS I was admiring my work and noticed the right rear quarter window is cracked. No idea how this could have occurred that would have been our fault. Anyone ever seen this? Part of me wants to call the dealer to get it fixed, the other part feels like they'll do more damage than good by removing all the trim to replace it and I should just leave it as it's almost unnoticeable. Thoughts?

That is really odd. It should be warranty repair and a good body or glass shop should have no problem fixing it.

Is that the lightweight glass option? There has been a lot of spontaneous glass breakage reported on the other subforums lately -- and I mean a lot -- but not sure if it's the same glass/supplier that is used on the Macan line.

No actually it has the heavyweight glass option (Thermally and Noise Insulated Glass)

However I agree this has to be a glass defect.

Isn't this an impact mark right here?

How hard was the sticker pressed on? I would try to remove any trace of it before going to dealer.

Not hard. No way that cracked the glass but yeah will remove before going to dealer so as not to give them a dumb excuse. I do have a good relationship w/ my dealer so I am not worried though.

Wouldn't removing the sticker be dishonest not to mention a bit sleazy? Grow up! I see a pinpoint ding at the endpoint as if it was struck by something very small, but with enough force to possibly cause the crack.

Possibly a lawn mower, or brush-cutter ejecting a stone?
