Identified cause: 0
Suspected cause: 0

Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Reported cause
I vaguely recall having a similar problem and it turned out to be from the side view mirror.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It happened again. First it was my 1999 996 C2 coupe, then my 2002 Boxster S, and now my new to me 2001 996TT coupe. There is a rattle in the driver's door that you hear while driving, or even hard closure of the door. Sounds like a spring or loose window or door opener????? Hear it with window up or down. The dealer tries to fix it every time, but to no avail. Either it is less but returns or just never goes away. Any thoughts on a pemanent fix. Thanks

POST 2Original post

I vaguely recall having a similar problem and it turned out to be from the side view mirror. Once the dealer discovered the source, they tightened something down and the problem was solved. Perhaps this might be your problem too? Then again, perhaps not.

POST 3Original post

There is a TSB for a door latch problem and a TSB with 6 other door noise fixes. Sounds like your dealer hasn't done his homework.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
