This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Have recently (3 months ago) changed from BoxsterS to C4S. The top of the dash board has slight creak which OPC Reading fixed for a short while but the noise is back. I notice also now that on near side at junction with windscreen that a felt is showing having worked its way out I guess. I think I remember reading about this some while a go in a mag. Can anybody tell me how I fix this or is it dash to bits time?

To help reduce the squeaks and rattles Porsche fit felt in areas that are prone. Richard will be able to supply you with the TSB's for the area around the dashboard and what to do to reduce the annoying squeaks. Sounds to me like the felt that Reading fitted to reduces the noise has come adrift. After just 3 months since they did it the work it should still be under warranty. I would take it back and get them to re do it.
