Does your 981's interior rattles?
#31
I have an odd squeekish like noise that I can't seem to locate. I was thinking it was internal to the cabin and on the passenger's side, but I'm now wondering if it might be the gas tank rattle/squeek. - 2014 Cayman

Thanks, I tend to not get below 1/2 tank but will let it get a bit lower and see if I still hear it. I plan to let my 30 yo drive at least part of the way to the VMI/Citadel game in Lexington, VA tomorrow so I'll be in the co-pilot seat and can try to isolate it...

The passenger seat-belt can develop a very deceiving rattle. From the drivers seat it can sound like it's coming from somewhere in the passenger dash / glove box / foot-well area.
Just re-seat the straps make sure it contracts cleanly and no more rattle.

My squeak was coming from the rear strut mount. It sounded like a little mouse or bird when going over bumps.

Where did you place the weatherstripping?
It's not just you. 20" wheels and a fixed sport suspension will do that to you.
My two worst were my door and the gas tank pad squeak. I fixed the door with three strips of weatherstripping. I'm probably just going to have to live with the gas tank pad squeak even though it is known and there is a TSB for it. No dealerships in my state.
Here is a video showing how to remove the door if you are interested in installing the weatherstripping.

Attached is info about getting a dealership to fix the gas tank pad. You can find more information by searching TSB 1403.

the rear cage has always had a “ding” sound on rough roads. Like one is using a screw driver to hit a metal pipe. Then my driver’s side door has a small clicking sound too after I changed the factory black door straps to red ones. Never really got around to fixing that. It’s probably something silly I messed up when I removed the interior door panel before …

I had a rattle coming from what I thought was the plastic around the storage compartments or the hatch plastic. I must have taken that stuff apart and added foam tape 5 times and still had the rattle. Turns out the hatch was slightly loose. I turned the rubber adjusters out a little and the rattle went away.
