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.

I did also find a mummified mouse carcass adjacent to the subwoofer box, in the padding behind the carpet, but a mouse would have no use/interest in an acorn as far as I know.

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 finally figured out how to remove the carpeted panel/subwoofer in my Cabrio (asked for help in this thread
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...r-removal.html
) and when removed, it sounded very odd when shaken.
Removed the speaker and turned it over to find this inside (might affect sound quality?):
There is a small air port in the plastic enclosure, so I am guessing that was the entry point. I don't think a squirrel would fit, but maybe chipmunk? What I can't figure is, the whole padded thing is pretty tight to the tunnel so how did they get all the way to the subwoofer? Maybe there is an open gap at the top into the tunnel area behind the radio - could be I guess.

I didn't count but that is all of them in the picture. I would guess there were 2 dozen though - they just kept coming out!
EDIT: I can count about 35 or so in my picture, so now I think 3 dozen! Yikes!
The car must have been parked for a very long period of time in the same spot with the top down or the PO pissed off the serive tech at one of the places where the car got serviced.
I agree. There is about a one year gap in the car's recent history, between the last service in FL and when it appeared at auction in PA and ended up with the OH dealer, so who knows where or how it was stored during that time. My friend who is helping with the car believes the same - left with the top down for some period of time.
Years back when my dad had his shop a customer who would buy and sell from car auctions brought in chevy 1500 pickup with a diff whine that started few miles soon as he drove it off the auction lot. When they opened it up banana pur�e poured out.
