Just wondering if it's normal for 997Cabs to have small annoying rattles in the roof? Is there a common spot and are there any good ways to fix them?
Thanks in advance.

 

Can't speak for others but no squeaks thus far for me.

 

My friend has a 997 cab and has some squeaks & rattles on bumpy roads. My old 996 cab had lots

 

The only time my '06 had a problem the two Torx bolts in the top of the frame were loose. I've removed them, cleaned them, and put Loctite "blue" on the threads & no more problems.

+1. No squeaks on mine either but I only have the cab for 3 months.

 

I didn't have any on my 05 C2S cab that had 20k miles on it and I owned for a year. My latest 06 C2S cab, which I've only had for a week, doesn't have any yet, with 14k miles on the car.

 

No rattles here... but only 5500 miles....

 

My cab has a tiny rattle, in what I think is the right rear. I only really hear it on bumpy roads.

 

Even if you don't have a rattle check the the two Torx bolts on both sides of top. In addition to mine being loose I have also found several of our club members Torx bolts being loose. One of the service techs at the local Porsche dealer told me they routinely check all Boxsters & Carrera Cabs when they are in for service. His guess is 3 out 5 need to be tighten and the 2 that were OK they will catch on the next trip in.

 

No sqeaks or rattles on mine.

 

Can you post a pic or description of which bolts you're talking about?

My 5 month old 09 does have a squeak over uneven pavement....

Thanks!

 

Non on me

 

I've had several "PM's" requesting pictures of the Torx (T-30). So here they are:


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.

mine had major flex noise every driveway since I go in at a angle. Took it to the dealer and they put felt on the two lips that fit in the window frame notches in the front of the top.. all gone

 

None on mine, but only 1000 miles so far in 4-5 weeks of use.
