There have been other threads on this topic but just a few thoughts.

Porsche don't make windscreens so all you are trying to do is buy one from a supplier to Porsche.

There probably aren't enough Macans having replacement windscreens to justify an independent manufacturer setting up to make them.

Companies such as Autoglass change windscreens and recalibrate cameras all day and every day and it's possible that if you buy via an OPC they will subcontract the work out anyhow.

My windscreen cracked for no apparent reason after four and a half years. One stone thrown up by another vehicle could wreck the Autoglass replacement so I would think twice about paying for a windscreen change outside the insurance schemes.
