Default flapping or tapping noise from passenger side

i have a 991.2 cabriolet with a slight flapping or tapping noise coming from the passenger side of the car. I know that is not a very detailed explanation. I know it is not coming from the convertible top. Anybody dealt with this?

I've posted this before but got no real explanation other than advice to reset the windows which I've done to no avail.
My 17 991.2 Cab 2S side window when fully closed rattles (sometimes just a ticking), quite minor but still annoying, against the top of the strut that separates rear quarter and front side window. Or it might be against the soft top when roof up. Not even sure which of the two windows, could be both. Seems to settle down a bit once car is warm inside. Don't hear it when roof down but then you wouldn't.
Awaiting next service to look at under warranty (hopefully) but dealer quite a distance away.

Do you get it when the top is down?

just got car back from dealer. It was the back side passenger window under the convertible making the noise. They re-calibrated the window and lubricated all the rubber stripping around the window. I have a feeling it will not be the last of the squeaks and rattles but i think that just comes with a convertible.

I think I have the same issue. Do you know what is involved in re-calibrating the window? I'm wondering if it's something I can do myself.
