Speaker rattle - rear left door

[ScottHelme]

This issue has gotten progressively worse and I now need to do something about it!

It's quite a high pitched rattle, maybe more like a 'creak', coming from the rear left speaker. Applying pressure to the speaker grille stops the noise. It's the speaker grille above the electric window switch, not the one down in the door pocket.

I've tried with a pry tool to see if the grille will simply pop out, but without wanting to apply more pressure than I'm comfortable with, it won't come out.

Does this grille simply pop out? Is this a known issue? I'd be happy for any recommendations or suggestions, thanks!

Not had this problem on either of my Taycans (Bose). Which sound system do you have - Bose, Burmester or Sound Plus (speaker arrangement will be different)?

Photo might help.

Thanks for the reply!

I have the Bose speakers, and here's a picture that shows the arrangement. It's the speaker grille right next to the window switch. Applying pressure on the grille stops the noise.

May be more involved than simply prising off and require the entire door card to be removed

Also try using a plastic shim before taking things apart as it could turn out to be a 'big' job.

If car is under Porsche Warranty then get the Dealer to resolve.
