RickLS7 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 You must be really short if your shoulders are the same height as the suspension components you've replaced, I'd normally suggest the roof or roll bar. Here are the normal annoyances on a 986 (shamelessly stolen from another thread), does it squeak with the roof down? Doors clicking sound - Adjust the door lock striker Roof rattle - Adjust roof tension bolts Windows creak - adjust the amount of pressure the glass pushes against the rubber seal (done from bottom of door) Wind deflector rattles - Use felt pads or hot melt glue the deflector in Honeycombs within the hoops rattle - Fit Felt pads to the three locating lugs Sun visors creak - Felt pad on the rubber bump stop Passenger seat creaks - Push it back as far as you can and adjust the recline with the switch to just apply a little pressure against the back panel Lubricate the door rubbers Lubricate the roof to windscreen rubber Vaseline the clamshell locating lugs - these creak and rattle as the car flexes over uneven ground Silicon spray the roof mechanism with the roof halfway up or down (easy access to the bits that move) Tighten the locating lugs for the roof to windscreen joint (there are two Torx screws and this part secures the sun visors too) Put a large felt pad over the roof lug - this prevents creak within the roof to locating lug joint as the body flexes over rough ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the highest point in the rear suspension. Just kicking this around a bit - I wonder if the moisture thrown up in wet weather is lubricating them in some way. Whilst hot weather means the mounts are then “dried out” and any shrinkage or cracking becomes audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemag Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Mine did this....I moved the passenger seat forward a smidgen so the headrests didn't rub against the roof/roll bar Problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tritonkev Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Update I think it's the topmount as sprayed with wd40 and creaking gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
