Macan Turbo Rattling

[joaopribeiro92]

Hi.
Macan owner since february. Dealing with some rattling in the back, B pillar and all the roof (panoramic). Any ideas? Possible causes? Solutions?
It is a turbo.
Thanks in advance.

I wish. It is in the roof and Back. The noise in the Pilar B is not related to that… unfortanately.

I have optional rear window shades in my S, and internal components rattle. I can simulate it by shaking the open door. No resolution- FWIW

Yes, I thought the rattle was coming from the pillar seat area, but in fact, it was the rear hatch latch and after they lubricated it, the noise went away that noise transmit through the metal so it’s hard to detect exactly where it’s coming from so I would say ask the dealer to lubricate the latch and see if that fixes the problem

But what was the problem with the latch?

There was nothing inherently wrong with the latch

They did not mention it in the write-up or verbally, but it is apparently documented in TI-5587. I guess that dry parts hitting together can clack together, but with the right lubrication, they don't. I am dropping by tomorrow and can ask them.

latch as in how the rear seats fold down? or the latch for the boot?

The boot latch. I was surprised because the sound seems to be forward of that, and I checked out the seats and found nothing that was rattling, but it was apparently the boot latch.

I was experiencing the same annoying noise. Unfortunately, my dealer wasn't able to fix ist. So I successfully did it myself. 4 screws are holding the rear roof segment in place. It seems that there is kind of tension on the roof. Loosening and re-tightening the screws removes the tension and eliminates the rattling. At least in my case

For me the B pillar rattle is at the top where it meets the roof liner. You can shove some acoustic foam in the gap which mostly got rid of the noise for me. If you push into the top of the B pillar and roof liner where it meets the B pillar you'll hear it if it's that. Also have the sunroof rattle - dealer "fixed" it for about a month and then it came back, will try the unscrewing fix. Taking it into the dealer to fix this and a few other rattles next month.

After about 10 months of ownership so about 1 month ago
