After chasing a rattle that was in the rear drivers side i've finally managed to find the source but i'm stuck as to what to do to try to fix it! It originally looked/sounded like it was the belt's tensioner arrangement but after much playing its the actual support/body structure that the rattles coming from. (see below ) Has anybody had anything similair or any ideas how to fix it? I've tried silicon spray between the sections to no avail, but it seems like its vibrating between 2 of the metal sections (dodgy weld?). Any useful hints much appreciated[:D]

There is a TSB about "Noises in the rear seat well area due to relative movements of the transverse
reinforcement tube." I think that's the tube in your photo. I'll dig it out and send it to you.​
 
found it! it's the strengthing bar that you can just see in the top pic, but its not under the seat as a tsb was for but where the tube goes through the framework next to the belt, but it pointed me in the right direction. My huge thanks richard[:)]
 
Is there a TSB for 'Stopping your 996 rattling and squeaking like a 15yr old Nissan Bluebird minicab"?

If there is, can you send it to me? [:-]

I have rattles from both doortrims, the centre console, and a creak coming from the left side of the screen somewhere, and the passenger seat sometimes too.
 
sorry mate, not got them but from the ones you've mentioned i've had 4 and cured them through various threads on 1 of the 3 porsches i've had. search is your friend[:D]
