I've had a rattle on the drivers side (right above my left ear) and the rear of the passengers side - for some time now. Thanks in advance for the tips. I'll go try a few things. They're not that serious, but a car of the calibre of the 997S should not do such things

The rattle in your right rear might be from the right rear seat back vibratiing during during the bumpy rides. Had one in mine. You can try to wedge a piece of foam to make it tighter to reduce the vibration during the bumpy rides.

Also try lubing the joints with "DuPont Multi-Use Dry, Wax Lubricant". You can buy this at Lowe's.

Use 303 Aerospace Protectant on all the rubber parts. The 303 is a great product. I use it on all vinyl, rubber & leather. The 303 High Tech Fabric Guard is good for your top. Both protect from UV rays.

Thanks for the pics and the tips. I will definitely look into it.

I think we've all been there. That's why I developed the "9XX Vehicle Rattle Finder" - a set of vibration simulation MP3 files, designed to help you locate those pesky rattles in a stationary vehicle.
I've personally tested these files on over 300 Porsche vehicles during my 9XX Experience tours, and I'm now offering it for FREE at my online store to all car lovers out there.
No catch, just an honest attempt to share something that could make our drives a little more peaceful. 🎧🔍
