991.2 roof rattle help!!
Hello, new member here
I have a 2019 Carrera T that I absolutely love. I have around 3,600 miles and I daily it but there is a rattle that is driving me crazy. It appears to be under the passenger side sun visor, I’m not sure if it’s in the headliner or if there are any clips in there or anything. The rattle/buzz noise can be heard when I drive over uneven pavement or when I hit a bump. The dealership has checked it out twice and both times decided it was the Clip that holds the sun visor and allows you to unclip to cover the side window from sun. If anyone has had experience with this please let me know as it will help a lot. Thanks

Same noise here - I was thinking it might be coming from the A pillar...

Such issues are easy to find/fix with a person in the passenger seat. You drive and focus on creating the rattle while your helper tries to locate the source and see's if it can be eliminated by pressing on the source or unclip move visor and things like that..

I’m pretty sure mine is coming from the headliner. I think I could hear it very faintly by knocking on the headliner in the middle of where the sun visor should be (move it out of the way ). But still not sure yet

One idea to try... Download a frequency generator app on your phone and then play it through the car stereo at high volume. I did this and was able to track down a couple of annoying rattles.
Some rattles are only easy to produce with certain engine RPM's- that's where you need someone you trust to drive the car while you sit in the passenger seat or in the back

Had the same rattle, somewhere behind the sun visor on the driver’s side. As mentioned above, I first thought it came from the clips that holds the sun visor when not in use (changed it with new but no luck). Later, I found it to be the sun visor itself. The sun visor’s mirror and the mirror cover seems to be the issue. Put the sun visor down and try tapping on each sides. I’ve put felt tape on the side of the mirror cover and the mirror where there is any contact with other parts. Looks ugly but rattle gone and I rarely use these sun visors anyway.
Hope this helps.

Ah. Great idea to track loose panel rattles and such. I’ll try but I’m not sure it will help as it only occurs when I hit slight bumps in the road
thanks though !!
