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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi... an apologetic title to my first post here....picked up my 996 C4S 3 weeks ago now and lovin it....aprt from the rattle in the rear interior...RATTLES DO MY HEAD IN!! I had a 1967 911S once and made sure that it didnt have one erroneous sqeak...and i am determined to track this one down....right now my closest guess is it is something to do with the rear passenger seat belt mount/shrowd....but im not wholey convinced. Ive been in the back and checked most of the panels and plastic elements but im lost as to a definte cause... as a general point, do all the 996's suffer from rattly/squeak bits of interior...especially those with the firmer ride/suspension (C4S, Turbo/GT3 etc)....thanks..... cheers for any responses Migration info. Legacy thread was 65106

POST 2Original post

I also have a similar rattle, have just learned to live with it, if I have a passenger with me it doesnt happen, though the sunroof rattles all the time, guess it is a fact of life with the suspention. Migration info. Legacy thread was 65113

POST 3Original post

I drive a cab, so yes there are a few rattles - especially on the B roads! I have found a can of silicone spray has stoped the squeaks though. Migration info. Legacy thread was 65120

POST 4Original post

Not too many rattles in my cab, apart from the passenger air vent sounding like castanets whenever I hit a B road. Oh and the sound of my paintwork being rubbed away at the rear when I used the hardtop last winter Migration info. Legacy thread was 65125

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

cheers for these.....funnily enough Jay T my passenger air vent rattles a bit too (I forgot to mention that on the first post.... if i discover the cause i'll pass on the good news....cheers guys Migration info. Legacy thread was 65177
