I believe that the rattle is originating from the backseat rest or the plastic handle that is used for tilting the backseat rest.
Leading evidence: 'Use tilting the backseat rest' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'umbrella' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Lubricate rubber seals)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
I was chasing a rattle for a while and then figured it was the umbrella that I stash down the gap behind the rear seats.

That's what caused mine and is a known fault at Porsche (which they fix by lubricating the rubber seals).
Replace few clips holding the rear panels in place

Apparently he replaced a few clips holding the rear panels in place to see if it would work but it hasn't.
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.

Do your 991 rattle?
My 991.1 2013 Carrera 4 with 39 000 km has started to rattle when going over uneven surfaces. There roads are terrible where I live so I kind of hear it all the time. I believe that the sound originates from the backseats and is not related to the seatbelts. But I'm unable to pinpoint it any further.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Any tips on how to go about fixing it?
My T has a rattle that sounds like the interior panelling on the rear bulkhead. I don't have rear seats so it's not that. Hopefully I'll find out later as it's in for a service today and this is one of the things I've asked them to look at
Edit - they could hear it but due to social distancing rules the tech couldn't take anyone out in the car with him to help locate where it's coming from. Apparently he replaced a few clips holding the rear panels in place to see if it would work but it hasn't. They've asked me to bring it back in at a later date to look at it properly

No sunroof on the car. I believe that the rattle is originating from the backseat rest or the plastic handle that is used for tilting the backseat rest.
But it is really hard to pinpoint as it only occurs during driving.
I was chasing a rattle for a while and then figured it was the umbrella that I stash down the gap behind the rear seats. I haven't driven the car a lot since lockdown started, so need to check that nothing else is rattling now. I did read somewhere that there was an issue on some 991s with the seatbelt attachments rattling...
Drove a 991.2 GTS with sunroof at the weekend. That had a rattle (from the back on the N/S it seemed to me). Common problem?
I'd tried a C2 with sunroof the previous day and that was 100% solid.
The 997 has a common rattle with the clips holding the carpet section below the rear screen (coupe only) in place.
Bet they've not changed the design, they are 0.5p /100 sheet steel clips, really cheap and nasty.
I'd start looking there.
