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 performed work without a confirmed outcome: 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.

Some pre MY2000 cars had a spacer block that needed to be replaced under the panel under the rear side windows that caused rattles.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any suggestions on what to do about rattles coming from above the window areas of the back seat. They occur at many different speeds and don't seem to be related to the seat belts.

POST 2Original post

Is it above the rear side windows or below them? Some pre MY2000 cars had a spacer block that needed to be replaced under the panel under the rear side windows that caused rattles.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It sounds as if the noise is coming from above the windows. Had my salesperson in the backseat as I demonstrated the rattles. He just grunted and said he would ask the repair guys about it. Have not heard from him yet, so I am looking for other's experience. Are rattles the norm for the 2002? I don't recall this in my earlier Porches and don't have this problem in my Mercedes.

POST 4Original post

I get an occasional creaking from the rear windows, usually related to weather. Have been debating whether to leave well enough alone or have them reset it. Doesn't sound like a rattle as you describe, though.

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