Loose change sound from behind seat!!

[Sandeep]

I've recently started to hear an odd sound coming from behind the drivers seat near the rear window. It sounds like loose change rattling around but I've checked for that and can't find anything. Seems to be when I go over bumps in the road, any ideas anyone?

Sandeep, do a search on Porsche Pete's Boxster Board - this may be your problem. See -

Loose Change" Sound from Behind Driver

Diagnostic: There is a rattle sounding as if you have some loose coins rolling in the engine compartment.

Cause: The cable for the cabriolet top being out of adjustment.

Details: There is a ball joint where the cable for the cabriolet top connects. If the cable is loose, the joint connection makes a horrendous sound. The cable tension needs to be adjusted.

Time in Shop: 10 minutes.

Repair Instructions: Open the top to a half-way open position. Then find the ball joints where the cables snap in. There is a bolt on top of the ball joint that turns to tighten or loosen the tension on the cable. Turn this bolt to increase the tension. You might also want to put some grease or lubricant into the ball joint. The cables just pop off the ball joint with a little pressure.

Notes: None.

Good luck!
