(5) How does the heated glass compare to the plastic window version?
Improved clarity: Glass resists hazing and discoloration better than plastic.
Slim profile: A lower profile window reduces bulk when folded, and benefits from built-in defrost functionality.
Premium fit: Used in later-build 996s (post‑1999 VIN > XS654806), offering enhanced OEM-style appearance and thermal performance.
