Default Chasing squeaks...

Hi All

991.2 GTS Targa with added squeaks - been chasing these for a while and finally solved it...the centre storage box and the seatbelt buckles.....

Hope this helps someone - I'm sure you guys will do a neater job, I'm just glad to solve the problem!

Cheers

John

Hi, I should have said:

Anti Squeak Tape Anti Rattle Tape Black Felt Tape 25mm x 10m : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools Anti Squeak Tape Anti Rattle Tape Black Felt Tape 25mm x 10m : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools


I've also used it to wrap wires / cables on a few other projects.

If you are able to hear squeaks, you are simply not driving fast enough

Well done

Great to get them sorted! We always joke about driving harder or lowering the window and just forget about it. For those that have ongoing issues that are really annoyed with the noise at slower speeds, finding a Porsche tech that has worked on older models can be really helpful. Some rattles go away when the weather gets warmer. The cold was really an issue in my car and good trouble shooting and willingness to get it sorted out solved the issues. Front right windshield defroster vent, center channel speaker grille, right rear panel and left rear panel/c panel were problematic. Seems like felt tape sorts it out with a foreman and tech that want to get it sorted.

I had some significant squeaks and clicks in my roof (cab) for a long time. Porsche did a fantastic job under warranty to quiet it.

There is a place on ebay that makes leather covers for the seatbelt connectors, for not a lot of money.
