Will they do this even if it's out of warranty?
I have one door noise and one cup holder noise, and a seat belt holder squeak.
Drives me nuts!

I had a very bad headliner noise,squeak when I was listening to loud music or window was down and air was coming in plus bumps.. dealer fixed some, not all, but first time they removed my sunroof they left me with a big gap between the sunroof and headliner, I think they put something inside the headliner to make it tight thats why I had the gap, they fix the gap but not all the noise lol

I had an annoying rattle also, sounded like it was coming from the dash and center console. I took it to the dealer and they kept it for a day to try to reproduce. At the end, I was told to get some new tires. My front tires were getting hard. I had about 25k on the front (2 years), while replaced the back 3 times. I decided to replace all four tires. The rattles went away.

If you're in the states, look for Michael's, JoAnn's Fabrics, or Hobby Lobby. They sell it in 8.5" x 11.5" sheets, for about a buck a piece.

Amazon - this stuff is great and thin:

Or, I've also used velcro tape, just the non-spikey half.

Does anybody know the TSB number?

I have a squeak/rattle around my dashboard, too, and while I've come to expect odd noises sometimes from 911s (I used to own a 1989 that had quite a few), I would like to get this one fixed if possible, especially since mine is a CPO car.

Thanks!

^^ Thanks for the TSB info, TooSixy and DGrayling! I'll take this to my dealer next time I go in for servicing and hopefully they can fix it.
