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.

At a guess it's the rear seats or the screen rubber, and more likely the latter, but any thoughts gratefully received

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My recently-acquired 996 has a rather annoying twittering sound from the rear cockpit area....as it's impossible to climb into the back while driving, does anyone have any idea as to diagnosis / cure? At a guess it's the rear seats or the screen rubber, and more likely the latter, but any thoughts gratefully received Thanks, Matthew Migration info. Legacy thread was 15235

POST 2Original post

twittering?? are you sure its not the windscreen seal above the dashboard on the passenger side????? mine creaks like a ship in sail! Migration info. Legacy thread was 15237

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No, it's definitely behind me, I climbed into the back tonight and prodded and poked and the likely culprit seems to be the trim panel immediately beneath the rear screen. Any ideas as to a proper solution before I douse it with ptfe spray all round the edges??? Thanks Matthew Migration info. Legacy thread was 15243

POST 4Original post

Hi trool Your OPC will have a cure for this. It is to do with the plastic moulding around either the windscreen or the rear window (apparently both cause the same creaking / rattling / tray of ball-bearings on the loose sound. The dealers have some special cord they put in the gap betwen the screen surround and the body to stop the racket!! Ian W Migration info. Legacy thread was 16089

POST 5Original post

The cord costs about £7 and takes less than 1 minute to install, and it works a treat! Migration info. Legacy thread was 16104
