This is great! I mean, all along it was making me nervous, but I am SOOOO glad to know that the creaks are normal.
BTW, I have the PSS9 suspension and a strut bar as well.

Thanks guys!

i keep reading about this, but i have no windshield creak at all *knock on wood* --and i am on windshield #2 now.

My 993 creaks, windshield is what I think it is. My 997 does not creak at all although I hit the black plastic air dam all the damn time.

As many of us know, a properly installed windshield can make all the difference. With my last windshield, there were no creaks until it got mildly "shattered" by a golfball-sized piece of concrete. Then it really creaked. With the new one, which was properly installed, it is totally quiet again.

Doug, if you dash is creaking, try removing the ashtray and loosening and then re-tighening the bolt behind it while slightly holding up on the dash. It really worked for me. The dash slowly wiggles loose at this point over a period of time.

Mine creaks a little, so I'm glad it's normal. I notice it most when I'm making a turn on an uphill off camber. How about door rattle on the cabs? I've replaced the latch grabs, and the doors aren't sagging, but I still get a little rattle if I hit the right (wrong?) bumps.

The strut tower brace didn't seem to help my creaking that much, and I agree that it's worse since installing the PSS9's.

The Porsche manual recommends using Vaseline to lubricate the front sway bar bushings, and this, along with periodically tightening the sway bar brackets, has helped quite a bit. I think some of the PSS9 creaking might be coming from the springs moving slightly, but I'm not sure.

I wish I "enjoyed" the creaking as much as some of you.

I was faxed this from porsche stuttgart two minutes ago, Anir you are totally right, the USA manual is different.

I have good and bad creaks - my windshield doesn't much creak at all to bother (luky me -for now- perhaps). I only get some little noises that sound like a very muted hail storm (sounds pretty sweet)...

...but yesterday the rear started rattling (my rear window, I think). Is it due to the RSRs?? This is very annoying, as it keeps me from hearing the lovely sounds of that exhaust. I first thought it was being caused by my son's booster seat in the back - and when he was riding with me the sound was gone. But now it is back and I am able to reproduce by lightly hitting the rear panel under the window...

Any thoughts / suggestions on how to remedy this?

+1 Exactly my experience.

Geolab, I looked and did not find your recent thread. Would you mind giving me a clue? Merci.

Am on my third windscreen. All three squeaked.
I've heard (but have not 'done') the 'Pedro's wax' fandango - which 'quietens' the rubber-creaks -- mainly because I've heard that when your windscreen needs to be replaced AGAIN - that's the installers will curse you to high heaven because everything has to be chemically-cleaned so as to make sure that the glue 'takes'.

Hello Don, Here is the link I was talking about. I think remedy is any greasy substance
but make sure it contains zero H2O inside, regards

I have new front and rear glass. The front creaks. Looks like it wasn't properly installed. It does sound like an excuse for a KLA strut brace.

I have no creaks of any kind (88K on the odo). I guess I'm lucky.
