Every convertible I've owned or test driven has had a rattle of some sort.
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.

Do we have any 997 squeaks and rattles experts here?
I have this squeak squeak from the rear right of my car..... any ideas on where it is coming from?
sounds like some internal plastics making noises.
Or could be the rear right window panel.
Lend me the car for a week and I will see if I can find it for you - will require it over a weekend when there is a track day pending
No charge of course.
Without being obvious I would say it's coming from the right rear. But seriously, make sure the rear seat backs are firmly pushed back, mine used to "squeak" where the latch in the seat back engaged with the pin, try a little white grease or silicone lubricant on the stem of the pins.
The boys on 911UK.com have a thread on this, just can't find it at the moment, 6-7 guys had or have recently had the same issue....... If I find it I'll post the link
I remember doing VW pre deliveries and after finding a squeak pulling the door trim apart to put this all over it - it's awesome stuff for stopping squeaks but a heck of a job!
thanks for the link.
Funny enough, I was having a push at that rear side window, seeing how much give and float it actually has, and after a bit of pushing and shoving the squeak has gone away....
I think it's actually the rubber of the window that squeaks, i.e. it's rubbing on itself.
cause after I wash the car, it stops squeaking, and then when the car is really dry... it starts squeaking.
So of cause when I tried to show the squeak to Porsche Melbourne.... it wasn't squeaking.
might try some Meguiars plastic and rubber spray.
Not even when the passenger seat is empty and not squished under the rollbar hoop?
Every convertible I've owned or test driven has had a rattle of some sort. Whether it's an empty seat or the roof itself.
I'm now on my 9th convertible.
I know - I have issues
but I've had lots of fun too
This morning I drove to the gym in the P - and on a nice piece of road, no rattles BUT on a bumpy road.. yeh quite a few. Its the frame of the soft top moving against itself mostly.
