Now if I can only get my wife to stop buying the store brand syrup, and I really like the idea of a plastic spatula to replace the metal one that is hanging on the...ah....way too much information.

I saw a thread on the 993 turbo forum that they had similare problem to mine and used some foam stuff, would it be the same fix for my 996?

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.

I am still in disbelief that this worked and the noise has not returned.
Hey guys.
I have a noisy dashboard and I wonder if anyone have experience this, it sounds like small cracking noise all the time, as soon the car moves.
I saw a thread on the 993 turbo forum that they had similare problem to mine and used some foam stuff, would it be the same fix for my 996?

This is actually a great thread. I think you will find the answer if you search for "6420" I'll summarize the info:
As it turns out in most cases -> the noise that appears to be from the dash is actually sound from the
windshield
moving and creaking. This was a common complaint with the 993. It reappears in some older 996's (mine included). The "6420" is a technical bulletin (Technical Service Bulletin-> TSB) put out by Porsche addressing this problem.
TSB 6420 called "Noises in the Wind Shield and Rear Window Area"
. You can get it TSB's from Renntech. If you haven't joined there, you should, it's a great resource.

If you read the TSB, to fix this you need part number 996 541 903 00. One per windshield. It costs $15.00 from pelican parts, or any other parts place (even the dealer). It takes 15 minutes to do it yourself - all all you need is a spatula and a bucket of soapy water.
Now the reason that I said it was a good thread - was because you would never find the right search phrase "6420" without some SERIOUS hunting. Now ask me how I know
-td <-- replaced the gasket and there were no more creaks -> dash, windshield, headliner, or other
I had the same with my '99 - dealer put a little foam around where the gauge cluster attaches to the dashboard and it went away. Didn't even charge me!
I found that the lower left corner of the passenger side airbag cover was my culprit. The corner is slightly loose and all I do is just push on it, and it's usually good for the rest of the drive.
Well pelican did ship to Sweden, just ordered that part!
But still cannot login into renntech, tryed recovering my psw , no email, reg a new account, still no email... strange site!
i tried logging into renntech and got a guest account but now it says i need to be a contributing member to see the TSBs. i have no idea what I need to do to become one though.
Yes - it is a donation and it is well worth it. As to the noise, I went through this with my '04, apparantly the windshield rope is not a fix for my year. The fix was simply to clean and lubricate under the windshield seal, including the seal at the cowl at the bottom of the windshield. I am still in disbelief that this worked and the noise has not returned. Easy and no cost to give it a try.
Now if I can only get my wife to stop buying the store brand syrup, and I really like the idea of a plastic spatula to replace the metal one that is hanging on the...ah....way too much information.
