To give you an idea, the noise is sufficiantly loud that if I'm using the phone people on the other end of the line notice it, so it's not just my usual pedantic ranting.

Unsuccessful attempt · Original poster

Autoglass took the car back, announced that the screen was set too low, and went about removing and refitting it, (unfortunately breaking it in the process, so actually fitted a complete new screen). This made no difference, so the process was repeated.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know there's been the occasional post regarding 993 screens rubbing on the seal and squeaking, but does anyone have any experience of 996 screens making a rattling noise? After some delightful burberry-clad person threw a brick through my windscreen, I had a replacement fitted by Autoglass. Sadly this was the incorrect screen (no antenna) but everything else was fine. They changed it, and it immediately exhibited a sort of "clicky" rattling sound, from the bottom edge where it meets the dash. Autoglass took the car back, announced that the screen was set too low, and went about removing and refitting it, (unfortunately breaking it in the process, so actually fitted a complete new screen). This made no difference, so the process was repeated. Twice. They than came and fitted damping tape (no difference). Stripped off all of the scuttle plastic covers etc - no difference - then changed the screen again. Still no difference. I have to say Autoglass have been more than willing to try anything, and virtually all of their fitters min the london area have had a go at it, but the problem still exists. To give you an idea, the noise is sufficiantly loud that if I'm using the phone people on the other end of the line notice it, so it's not just my usual pedantic ranting. Does anyone have any idea what we should do next? Thanks Steve Migration info. Legacy thread was 28878
