Most glass places can order replacement glass. The Porsche dealer can get the German replacement.

I am having my local well established (old school) auto glass install a new windshield today for less than $400. installed. Look around, there must be a few in Houston.

Go with the dealer genuine Porsche. If you are really careful, you can use a razor blade to cut the plastic trim clips and remove your trim without bending it up. I did the install myself. The genuine glass fit perfectly. I recommend getting a few extra trim clips. I broke a couple trying to install them before the glass went in.
