I am getting a little rattle over my left shoulder and it is starting to bother me back near the little storage bin. Anyone else have this?
Edited by - JackWood on 04/02/2006 05:56:59 AM
if its the left side on a USA car... check to make sure it isnt your keys rattling on the keyring
the rattles i have identified are inside the air vents (flaps controlled by the AC to direct airflow to windshield, legs, or passengers)... rattle from speaker grill near hatch.... and rattle from the hard plastic liner attached to the hatch... all but the first went away with pounding by my fist
I haven't had any rattles except for the coins in the coin tray which does not properly fit US coins. If you have a rattle coming from the storage bin behind you that should be pretty easy to find. I have mine stuffed with rags. You might want to try some rag stuffing and even under the lid, then you could put some masking tape over the lid to eliminate that. I think you need to just start eliminating things one at a time.
Good Luck and if or when you find it please let us know!

I'm getting the same rattle - driver's side, near my ear. It really doesn't sound like it is coming from the hatch, but I'll pay closer attention next time. Rather, it sounds like something associated with the little window on the driver's side. It is a very subtle rattle. Have about 600 miles on the car.
it is definitely coming from the seat back rattling and shaking. it is the electic seat, so locking shouldn't be an issue. i can reach over and hold the seat back (headrest part) and it quiets it...
not on especially rough roads..more normal ones. should I show the dealer? but how to do so if when there is a person sitting in the seat it doesn't happen?
I have exactly the same rattle as
epeter01
, just behind my left ear. It's seems to be in the black moulding on the rear-side of the side window post. If I reach back and press the moulding, it stops. Tried a bit of DWF, but that didn't work. Going to drop by the dealer next week and get them to check it out, will post anything I find out.
Unfortunately I heard the same little sound over my left shoulder today on a drive. A small buzz/rattle. I'll stay tuned to hear what you other guys find out from the dealers.
I figured out that the rattle is coming from the small bin behind the drivers seat. The rattle goes away when I open the door. So, it is either the door vibrating against the frame or the spring for the door.

fraser, i get that rattle on my passenger seat also ,i just move it slightly forward and it goes away . i think its to do with when the chair is pressing against the bulkhead ,mine are full electric too so maybe the same problem
My son's Boxster S had a really annoying squeak coming from the door latch. I simply sprayed the locking mechanism and the catch with a commercial lubricant and it immediately disappeared. I couldn't believe how effective and immediate this cure was. Perhaps this could help?
well i thought i was lucky not to have any major squeeks or rattles but boy i have one now, the only way i can think to explain it is its like having a metal bin full of loose lego sat in the boot ,and every time you go over a bump its like someone shakes the tin . i actually stoped the car on the way home last night just to check that i hadnt got a loose exhaust or something like that . i checked al the trim and nothing looks lose ,my car has 2500 mile on it by now do you think these rattles manifest themselves after a couple of thousand miles or so or have your cars rattled from day one ,also the rear hatch did seem to be banging as i went over bumps its strange how when you start listening all sort of noises appear that you just hadnt noticed before ,anyhow i am contacting my opc to get them to have a listen i will let you know the outcome as soon as i have the opcs verdict , im feeling very depressed about this right now
89 speedy .........do you think the opc will upgrade me to bose ?is this the official recall fix that porsche has suggested to cure the ..BIG RATTLE.....that so many of us have ,i for one would be more than happy with a sound upgrade to cure it ...but you may have a point about it being medical rather than physical maybe the annoying rattle as i go over bumps is my teeth fillings working loose?
My drivers seat squeaks on bumps and on moving back and forth. Also have a rattle from the cup holders. Think I can fix the cup holder cover rattle but not so sure about the squeaky seat.
Don't hesitate to take your car back to your dealer if a rattle develops.
I had a similar problem withmy 04 911 cab and took the car back many times for various rattles - principally the roof and the door winders. I took the attitude that a Porsche shouldn't rattle and kept taking it back until everything was fixed.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I’ve got this loud thud that slaps back (pad-unk) when I go over a large bump or road expansion joint. I’ve brought it to the dealer twice and they service manager had the nerve to open the rear hatch and pound his fist on the trunk compartment and ask me if that is what it sounded like. [/quote]I told him it did and he said that al Caymans do that I just have to live with it. And the sales manager told me to turn up the radio. My manger did say he will contact the regional rep and see if he can come out and take a look at it. <o

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I know that they probably have bigger fish to fry but, to not even take the courtesy of getting down on his knees and look underneath is very surprising to me. I had no Idea that service along with accessories is not on of Porsche’s strong points.<o

Stevie,
We had our Cayman back twice for the rear hatch rattle problem. This second time, according to the service statement, 'Left rear hatch strut upper clip will not seat down into mount properly and is chaffing on body. Replaced left hatch strut.' In addition they replaced the rear hatch 'gummipuffers' which is a rubber bumper.
I'm sorry your dealer wasn't very helpful. Take it back and have them try again.
