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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

So I've located the rattle! Please see the picture with the arrow. If I apply slight pressure to that point, it stops. There's a clip or something in the pillar that's rattling against the pillar. Is there a way to remove the trim and get in there? A small piece of foam should do the trick. Or, is this something more suited for the dealer? I'd rather do it myself and save the trip if possible. Thanks in advance for the help! View attachment 8733

Read through these for ideas http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/9443-need-help-rattle.html and this (with links to more threads) http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/28947-chirping-noises-both-b-pillars.html and http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-complaints/25220-06-cayman-s-rear-quarter-window-rattle.html Perhaps there is something in those that will help.

Thanks - my search wasn't as good as yours! I took the seatbelt cover off, tightened everything slightly (already pretty tight) and reinstalled. A short drive yielded no rattle (there at least), but we'll see if it comes back. It seemed like the rattle was coming from inside the pillar, which I don't think can be removed. Anyway, thanks!
