interior noise driving me crazy

[sc00ter18]

This noise is coming from behind my left shoulder.

when road is bumpy cracked it will make this horribly annoying sound.

kind of like something is a bit loose but not enough to be a problem...i wonder if this is common and fixable?

Adjust door latch.

Sounds like it might be one of two usual suspsects: door latch or conv top guide wire..... depending on the noise. If it's a rattle..... probably door latch - if a ticking/slapping...... probably guide wire. Here's a good thread w/ info on both and how to test and fix.

Rattle & Ticking Noise Over Shoulder

ticking noise..... see posts 4, 15, 17

rattle noise...... see post 19 & 22

Now, if neither of those do the trick, it could be the old coin rattle...... In a small coupe like the Boxster, sounds are often hard to isolate...... I bring this up b/c if you don't have the non-smoker kit and use the ash tray to hold small items (like coins ;)), they can easily bounce out and drop down in the center console. Once there, they can get stuck under the shifter and cause gear engagement problems. Or, and more likely, they get lodged vertically against the side of the console and rattle and rattle and rattle. My PO left me a $2.50 rebate hidden in the console :rolleyes: which, for the most part, I wasn't able to completely cash in on until I installed my B&M SSK. You might pop up your shifter boot and ashtray (if applicable) and have a look.

Good luck :)

my sounds sounds more like the door panel is not as tight as it could be......but that might come from the door latch, im not sure
