Has anyone figured out the Rattle Behind Gauge Cluster?
Does anyone else with a 991.1 have this issue?
A rattle noise coming, or seems like its coming from BEHIND the Gauge Cluster. Its sounds like something loose.
Drives me crazy going over rough payment, which seems to be everywhere.
I'm seriously considering taking the gauge cluster off, but don't know where to start.

Is this the fuel tank/firewall issue? Try searching those key words.

OK, lets assume it is the Gas tank, how to get to it? Anyone know how?

My dealer is still working on this one for me. I'll let you know if they fix it. They don't think it's the tank pads in my case, as the sound is more metallic and less styrofoam-squeaky.

There are lots of possibilities. My 2012.5 C2S developed a similar sounding rattle after a "campaign" recall. It turned out to be something plastic detached in the firewall area under the removable rubber cove.
Drove me and the dealer nuts until I showed up one cold morning at 7:30 and took a tech for a ride. He heard it, looked and found what was loose and fixed it by attaching what ever it was to its mount. Took him about 2 minutes.
Here's hoping your's turns out to be something simple.

Just updating here to say my issue persists.
I apparently had two rattles - one in the upper trim piece - which they quieted, but the instrument cluster still has a jingling rattle issue.
It's not the tank pads - that one is a squeaky sound. Mine sounds metallic.
Almost like a loose screw inside the gauge cluster.

Spray some rubber conditioner on the top front strut mounts. Mine made a terrible rattle sound and after replacing the tank foam pads without any improvement, we finally figured out it was the strut mounts. They retorqued the top nut, which made the noise disappear for a few weeks. When it came back I sprayed some rubber conditioner on the rubber part of the mount, and now it's been quiet for over a year. BTW, the rattle sounded like it was behind or under the cluster, even though it was coming from the driver's side strut mount.

Well, I pulled the plastic part and everything seems to be torqued down very securely already. none of the nuts were loose, and tapping on the part didn't rattle either.
I'm really not sure that is my issue, the jingling really sounds like it's inside the instrument cluster.
I'm going nuts over this stupid problem.
