Default GT3 rear window rattle/noise

Do you have to remove the seats and cage to reset/re-seat the rear window on a 2010 GT3?

Can you get to the 2 screws by removing the trim by the seat belt without removing the cage?

So the B-pillar trim comes off with the cage in place. You will then get to the 2 screws which hold the window. Both are tight. Anything more than that will require seat/cage removal which I will not do.

Solution #2. Stuff some anti vibration mat material under the seal (between window and B-pillar). That should sort it.

Here is the pdf.

So I ordered a Draper Vibration Absorber mat. Will stuff some of this material between window and seal all the way in. This will put a bit of pressure on the window and should sort it.

Default Window Rattle

Are your certain it is the window? My 997.2 GT3 had an annoying buzz from the passenger side area which I eventually diagnosed as the seat pull strap vibrating against the hard plastic seat insert. A tiny piece of sticky one side weatherstrip foam fixed the problem.
