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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone figured out what the slight rattle, "tapping" is while driving, or idling on the right rear corner of the 996. The best way to describe it is... if you suspended a wire coat hanger on a string across the back seats and it would gently tap the inside metal around the rear window. this is driving me nuts! Thanks... Rick

POST 3Original post

Hmm, when I heard this rattle it turned out that one of the rear seat seatbacks wasn't all the way latched on (fixed by unlatching and relatching). Here's hoping it's something so simple.

POST 4Original post

I have a two rattles and one sounds like yours. It was the passenger seat and it is just gets in/out of frequency of the engine and rattles. My other rattle is in the front right of my windshield. Dealer says the windshield needs to be taken out and put back in for $700.

POST 5Original post

There is a tsb for a windshield rattle it involves sliding a foam like rope between the window trim and the body very easy diy the part is like $18 at the dealer and it works wonders. Can also be used on rear window.

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