Suggestion
You CAN replace the roof liner, it is about $850 for the part (should you want to change to alcantara, etc.) so it CAN be done, but I highly doubt this is the cause of the noise you are hearing.

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.

POST 1Original post

Has anyone else had to have their entire roofliner replaced? 2007 Cayman with 3000 miles on it. This is the third time it has been in for numerous rattles and squeaks... most noticeably a buzzing in the roof: so out with the old, in with the new... they say it is not repairable. in addition a pretty bad whining when you let off the gas at about 55-60mph in 5th (5sp) and they ahve no idea what it is... Has anyone got any thoughs/experiences? I love the car otherwise but MAN a lot of small annoyances for what I thought was a premium (and brand new) vehicle.

POST 2Original post

That seems rather odd. Does the buzzing happen with the windows up or down?

POST 3Original post

You CAN replace the roof liner, it is about $850 for the part (should you want to change to alcantara, etc.) so it CAN be done, but I highly doubt this is the cause of the noise you are hearing. For example I had a loose plastic piece under my car and had a buzzing inside the car or at least I swore it was inside the car, but it wasn't. So it is worth having the service dept. track down the actual source, if they are good dept they'll put portable microphones on your car and drive it around and use those to help them pinpoint the source of teh problem and fix it.

POST 4Original post

I had a buzzing sound inside the car and finally determined that it was the headliner. The buzzing went away when I pressed my hand to an area above the driver's seat. Apparently, it was some broken/loose clips? The dealer took care of it as a warranty issue. So far, so good.

POST 5Original post

yes, if the passenger jams their hand on the liner abouve their head it goes away... they were going to replace the broken clips, but decided a new liner was best... I guess it is just knowing they had to go to such extremes in a brand new car that has me mad!

POST 6Original post

I have my 2007 Cayman scheduled for a roof clip replacement (not the liner) for exactly the same problem. It goes in on Tuesday and I hope to get it back buzz free. Perhaps they had a bad batch of a certain part? (roof liner clips would be my guess). BillyJack

POST 7Original post

Your not alone with this noisy interior orchestra. I'm having the exact same problem! When I push up on the headliner above the seat the noise will cease momentarily. I had my cayman lowered making the ride more stiff and am wondering if that is possibly the cause. I also have a few dash noises when going over bumps. Yeah small irritating noises are BIG noises when one pays 70,000 for a car that has a reputation for refinement. My brand new toyota tundra is now making noise. Oh well, everything is under warranty

POST 8Original post

I, too, have a buzzing rattle in the roofliner over the driver's seat. The car is going into the shop next Wednesday for that and its first "minor service". Wonder whether I'll get a new roofliner or just new clips? DaveN007, I thought that the vinyl roofs that were so popular in the '70s were the biggest joke in automotive history!
