noise in sliding/tilting roof

Hello,

It has taken me almost two years to finally find out where this awfully irritating noise in my sliding/tilting roof comes from. I must have removed the roof about a dozen times, but never succeeded in finding the cause of the noise.

Yesterday evening I read all the TSBs on noises in the Porsche 996. In the TSB on noises in the trim panel area (Part ID 2/00 Number 70..) I read about complaint 10: "crackling noises at the frame of the roof lining for the sliding/tilting roof cutout".

I removed the sliding roof and the panel. Then I put the roof back, but this time without the panel. While driving the car all I had to do to stop the noise was push the roof lining near the cutout on the passenger side. I thought the noise to be a metallic one, so the thought that the lining could have anything to do with this never crossed my mind. Of course, I should have read all the TSBs on noises much earlier. It would have saved a lot of irritation.

In the TSB it reads that in order to get rid of the noise grease free chalk should be applied to neutralize the area of excessive adhesive.

Has anyone got an idea how I have to do this? Where do I get grease free chalk? I would really appreciate your help.
