I have a 99 996 and have a really annoying rattle coming fom the dash area. :cursing:

It only happens when I'm moving. It seems to come from the instrument cluster area. It's driving me nuts. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Phillipj

There is a 9 page TSB for various dash noises.

Most of the fixes involve felt tape, foam padded tape and teflon tape.

What Loren said. And don't forget to check out TSB 6420 (windshield fix with rope).

Dear Loren

How do I access the TSB's?

Thanks,

Phillip

Regular Members can see a list of TSBs - but Contributing Members can view the TSBs online here.

If you would like to find out more about the benefits of becoming a Contributing Member have a look at How to become a Contributing Member.

Loren,

I gladly donated to the site. How soon can I view the TSB's?

Thanks,

Phillipj

Also check your emergency brake release button. I performed most of the Dash TSBs but still had a rattle that I swore was coming from the dash. It turned out to be the e-brake release button rattling around inside the handle.

Its easy to check - just put your finger on the button when you hear the rattle. If it goes away, you found the culprit. I stuck a small piece of the "fuzzy" side of velcro to the button and the rattle went away. Good luck!
