    Thank you, I'll check it out.

    I had the same problem. Put your fingers through the C-pillar seatbelt outlet and towards the roof. You should feel a plastic tube hanging loose. Take it to the dealer. They should be able to fix it. They will need to R/I the C-pillar trim which requires R/I of rearside trim panel. Also, ask them to replace all fastening clamps of any R/I panel, otherwise you may get a new rattle after intallation. If you decide to do it yourself and break a panel the replacement will take at least two weeks to arrive in the US. The cost of the C-pillar trim is $75. Thanks so much; do you know what the tube is for? Also here's a new noise I've got :angry: I noticed when I make sharp quick left turns I am hearing something scraping/squeaking coming from the back of the car. Its a light metal against metal sound and it sounds like its moves back and forth due to the forces of the car making the turn (suspension bushing out of place, trans or motor mount loose?).

    Opps, it's a hex head, I was using a torx head (T-40 in the larger opening of the bolt). There appears to be two openings on the head of the bolt a small and larger one, is it just the larger one that need to be unscrewed? tnx

    Loren: I'm having trouble figuring how to remove the stop/latch that the rear seats lock onto which is bolted into the side panel and must be removed for access; the manual says to unsrew the locking pins but I tried with a torx wrench and it does not budge. I'm sure it has something to do with the small "locking pin" inside. Thanks

    They say it's newly revised as of Dec 06 but the pics look like they were drawn buy someone graduating from a match book cover art correspondence school. It appears the rear seat belt retractors are rattling on both sides as you just have to tap on them to get them to rattle but they are installed tightly; ould be the internal spring mechanism? I found a large piece of sound absorbing material was crushed and not in its proper place which I corrected immediately. I now need to remove the lower rear C pillar panels to get the best access now that all the carpeting/covers are out. I really feel for the Porsche techs as there's such little and uncomforatble room to work within.

    I just tracked down the Porsche tech site and bought the interior workshop book..$110 + tax...I guess nothing Porsche sells is cheap :rolleyes: . Now hopefully I can track down this **** rattle. Thanks again you've been most kind.
  7. 500
    Thanks Loren. Do you have the instructions to remove the lower piece as I'd like a look back there as well please? Are the workshop manuals readily availble for the 997 at the local delaership or even on-line, or are they only sold to professionals?
  8. 500
    Yes, thanks. Does it remove by just pulling it out?
  9. 500
    Yes its a coupe; where's the piece(s) that goes around the side rear window(s)? I can't seem to find it in the diagram. Also are these pieces just held in with clips and meant to be pulled out? Thanks!
  10. 500
    Thanks Loren! I also need the diagram for the upper part of the rear panels (around the side rear windows), and if you have it, the instructions how to remove the panels. Thanks, thanks and thanks again! :)
  11. 500
    Can someone please tell me the proper way to remove the rear interior upper and lower side plastic panels. Thanks in advance!

    I just noticed a rattle coming from the rear deck area inside the car, my girlfriend sat in the rear torture chamber seats while I drove and she thinks it's coming from the psngr side, in the very back corner of the rear deck. I removed the small carpeted panel that's just below the rear window and nothing is back there. The rattle sounds like something is dangling/hanging loosely hitting against something metallic. Very slight bumps will cause the rattle and harsh bumps don't really seem to affect it much more. What's just below the large flat part of the carpeted rear deck and how is it removed? Anyone else have this rattle and or fix? Thanks

    Many thanks to you!

    How does the center AC vent module come out? I have a nasty rattle back there I want to have a closer look at. Thanks

    If someone has the January 07 lease money factors and residuals I'd be most appreciative. Thanks :)

    I just bought an 07S an have had the clucth pedal vibration from the very first minute driving the car (it had 10 miles @ delivery);this is somewhat of a common problem with some newer Porsches. I had the exact same thing happen on a new 01 as well and others on the rennlist forum have repoted the same thing http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/show...ad.php?t=205460. I was recently told by a large Porsche dealership's shop foreman, that it is the clutch fingers not being even and it should go away after/during break-in (at least in my case since it been there since new) If you did not notice this issue when new, you may have a different probelm. I'd bring it in for service and get the shop foreman involved, please report back his findings. Hope this helps.

    What are the latest Porsche Credit money factors, or where can I find them. Also any other sources for better rates? Thanks!

    :lightbulb: Had this happen on a 2004 MB 500 I used to own, it was the A/C compressor leaking oil into the evaporator and over time it created a film in the vents causing the oily odor.

    I recently drove two six speed cars back to back, one with and one without and honestly found very little difference between the two. I actually had the sport shift already ordered and would have been able to still get it but when I found the new twin turbo forged rims were available I changed my order and lost the shifter (once a change was made the computer deletes the pre ordered sport shift) but got the rims. Yes the dealer can install the part if you wish.

    You're kidding right?? Maybe if the next dealer says no he can call in the factory rep.... :rolleyes:
