Yesterday I noticed a rattle that came from the left part of the dash, I'd say behind the steering wheel. It changes with speed and rpm. At first I thought it came from the vent, but I tried playing with it and no luck. Unrelated to that, I also installed the automatic lights upgrade from @Hatzenbach and discovered that one of the trims next to the door squeaks when pushed, this one:



Is this a common rattle source? Since I can't test it while driving with the door closed I'm not 100% it comes from there. Any tips to fix it?

Common, no, but you can pull those metal clips and adjust the inner section to make it grab the panel a but tighter.

Hmm. The part that squeaks when pressed is the lower left side, where there's the big gap and no metal clips to hold it. But again, I'm not 100% sure this is the source, just guessing.

Maybe some light adhesive foam along side that edge? The only place I have had a rattle or buzzing at certain RPMs is the upper dash near the windshield but that was resolved when I pulled the transmission mount inserts.

maybe some silicon grease? That seems to be the "magic bullet" for all the squeak & rattle problems I have in my 964.

I managed to record a video of the rattle. I tried sticking my finger in there to see if it would stop it but almost got it caught up with the door mid drive so I ended up just recording it: https://i.imgur.com/zaeYg6O.mp4

Hopefully I got it right and you can hear it.

That entire kick panel isn't very hard to remove. Also check to see if the connector is in that little metal clip on the side.
