Default Interior rattle/vibration noise

It's in the sport chrono, the lens vibrates. Drives me crazy. Has anyone taken it apart or otherwise dealt with this?

It happens after replacing the clutch.

Just kidding.

I would take it out and see what you can do to stop it or replace the Sport Chrono gauge with something else, like a clock or multi function oled gauge like that from PLX Devices.

For removal instructions, go to the MA Carbon website

Default Use felt for noise area

Hi There,
U can use plastic tool to lift up chrono gauge unit. Then removed use trox screws. Turn anti clockwise front chrome cover. Use small felt around glass frame.
Porsche felt part number - 99355554500
​​​​​​Shake the gauge, check noisy cured.
Good luck

Porsche uses shims and soft, foam tapes all over this car in very specific spots in the pursuit of noise dampening while also keeping excess weight low. Point being, I would pop it out and add a tiny shim of plastic maybe from a milk carton or something to shim the lens. If you can remove the lens maybe very thin 3M tape will fit in the cavity. So nothing to worry about. I found rattles after installing monoball suspension pieces and semisolid engine mounts. All were fixed with a few small shims or careful applications of foam/padded tape from my dealer.
