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

They are a PITA when your old like me
Mine creak from time to time, both driver and passenger side, plus there's an ocassional rattle from around the passenger seatbelt inertia reel area. My cage also pings now and then. Plus I've got an exhaust that booms a bit between 2k-3k if you're crawling through the rev range and you can hear my LWFW jingle jangle from time to time. Then there's the pebbledashing of the underside and wheelarches from stones, speed induced tyre roar and general wind noise. All are a total non-issue to me - it's not a Rolls Royce!
Just assume it’s the nature of the carbon fiber but next time I am near the opc I will get them to have a look
My 2011 Spyder’s carbon buckets made no noise at all getting in and out.
