New 992 carrera gts with rattle from passenger seat area
Hi Everyone - I took delivery of a 2022 carrera gts coupe last week. Yesterday was the first time I drove it for longer than 5 min.
I noticed the rattle on freeway around 70+ over slightly rough patch, and then off the freeway on local road at slow speed when road is not super smooth. I tried to hold passenger seatbelt to rule that out. I also looked around to see if there were any loose object around passenger side but no avail. I looked in dash compartment and there is nothing there as well.
i have called porsche service for an appointment but its not for another three weeks.
any suggestions to see if i can save a trip to dealership? Thanks!!

My passenger seat had a slight rattle when I first got my C2. I adjusted the passenger seat position back and forth a couple times, and the rattle went away. Not a very high tech solution, but in my case, it worked. No other rattles in 3,000 miles of (occasional) spirited driving.
my car is in ppf shop right now, will have a chance to check these when I pick it up sunday!

Mine rattled going home from the dealership and it was the insert for replacing the cup holder rolling around in the glove box. I’ve also had a rattle from the 4 ways not being engaged all the way. Probably not possible on the 18 ways so disregard that.
