I am not sure if this qualifies as a squeak or rattle, but when my ac or heater blower is past half speed, I get a annoying whistling sound, but as of yet, no other squeaks that I hear

I have the same problems.

1. Front Driver side dash board squeak/rattle
2. Rear Passenger side squeak

Dealer is going to look at the rear squeak, but they said the front is probably not fixable.

Wink to Squeak or not to Squeak...That is the Question

I thought I'd be able to squeak by without saying anything but I feel that If one is OCD, this is exactly the car you would want.

I mean if that's all the issues I get, I would welcome the challenge to seek and eliminate all rattles and squeaks. I mean we have a plethora of info here on this thread alone that would cost ten's of thousands of dollars for a tech to find and remove.

Plus, and added benifit to some is the intimate relationship one would have with his/her, (thinking of suzy...lol) vehicle.

By the way, is there a manual of pdf that that demonstrates how to disassemble our 911's?

My squeak seems to be correlated to temperature. As soon as it got cold, I can barely detect it. Now if my hvac would only behave, but that's a topic for another thread

Maybe kind of similar squeak issue I observe during the summer (2nd summer with the car, 2nd time the squeak occurs). Everytime the outside temperature -and the overall car temperature- gets hot (let's say 80F) and I start the AC (~74F) I start hearing a squeak coming from the dashboard. It sounds like it would be created by the heat expansion of dashboard material vs. contraction of parts in contact with the cold AC air. Just a personal theory but fairly well correlated with occurrences of the squeak...

Anybody else (as **** as I am..) with a similar problem?

I went to the dealership today and they could clearly hear it and immediately agreed it had to be fixed. I have an appointment for next Tuesday and they are most likely going to take the dashboard apart. I'll post about their findings and fix next week.

I had this. Adjusting the lumbar eliminated the noise for me. With the lumbar on "soft" there is room for the interior of the seat to move around over bumps. when tightened, noise gone.

Hopefully this can help others.
