Are rattles covered under warranty and for how long?

My 06 C2S has a few rattles that I would like to fix and I am wondering if this is something that the factory warranty would cover. The original warranty is good until this July and then the CPO takes over...

Thanks in advance for the response.

So come to your dealer and let him look at them. When I had issues they were ready to help with noise I had but it went away by itself somehow later on.

I've always had rattles and squeaks fixed under warranty on every car I've ever owned, including my Porsches. Either original or CPO warranty, shouldn't matter.

Every Porsche I test drove had a ton of rattles. It seems like if you fix one another one pops up.

lol worddd, the rattles drive me CRAZY, just my luck every time I go in to complain about the rattle I have to spend 20minutes defending myself because of my 20" wheels and kw coils...

" your car rattles because you have over sized wheels, and your car is a lot lower, and stiffer than the factory settings" STFU, and fix my damn rattles

Depends on the rattle. Certainly worth taking it in.

But you fix one...within weeks or months...another will crop up. Rattle is part of Porsche DNA.
