I noticed some weeks back an annoying ticking sound when I drive over bumpier roads (surface streets, not highways). Its coming from the driver's side area above the pedals.

I tried isolating it myself to no avail. I took it in to see if the dealer could locate it. They strapped some of the wires down there with felt tape, but it is still there.

Anyone else run into this? It is most noticeable with the top up. I'm going to take this back in but wanted to see if anyone else had the issue. It's driving me nuts

Mine is dead quiet over the endless bumpy roads here in MA but I also only have about 1600 miles on the car.

check this out; my wife noted a "ticking", which was the keychain bouncing against the dash collar around the ignition switch. I heard it, but knew what it was and paid no mind.

I'm sure you ruled that out however...

Funny I noticed the exact same thing when I put a keychain on a couple of weeks ago. Testament to how quiet the cabin really is even though it's a convertible.

Check the steering wheel or column. I have ticking in that area. It comes and goes. More noticeable at very low speeds. I haven't taken my car in yet.

No ticking in the front for me. Try turning off the Auto climate control- long shot.

The only "ticking" or rattling I have had on my Spyder were from the rear metal top snaps (when top is off). Annoying as hell. I replaced 2 of them and it went away.

*Update

Took the car back into the dealer last Friday they ended up keeping it for nearly 4 days looking for the rattle. Turns out one of the cross-members near the footwell was not properly welded hence the sound. Here are some pictures of the area in question. Sorry for the grainy pictures, the dealer provided them.

The dealer called into Porsche. They recommended JB weld type compound to stop the rattle which worked! So happy to not have the rattle any more. FYI if anyone comes across this issue.
