how to find pictorital / articles on pelican

[look 171]

I come across some of it before but don't know where or how to access or search for it. Been on utube but no luck. Maybe I am not using the correct words

Looking to remove the rear hatch's interior panel om my Cayman S. I have a rattle that's driving me nuts over rough roads, and we have lot of those around here. Any tips?

Anyone?

I gave it an attempt but never quite found what you are looking for. I'll try again later.

(There was one wanker who thought hitting the struts with the heel of his hand was somehow fixing the problem...)

You don't mean these, right?

Are you sure the hatch stops don't need adjusting? Mine have to be turned almost all the way out, to the point they almost fall off. Otherwise the rattling and banging is terrible.

I have been chasing that for a year now. Replaced the struts and that wasn't it. It only does it when going over rough road. Something is loose like a screw that bouncing on something. I tore that engine cover apart along with all the plastic around that area and found nothing. It has to be something up there. I am thinking its the third break light but I am afraid to tear into that due to the plastic clips that might break along with some Porsche designed fastening system that takes a real genius to release.

I can't figure out how to access those Pelican articles with photos on how to? I searched, only to hit a brick wall.

I can't access the planet 9 links on the page but the last post in this thread shows a laundry list of potential issues.

Good luck!

Yeah, I look at that as well. I think you have to joint Porsche GB to access their web site cost 81 lbs.

I had a very similar problem and worked on it for a couple months on and off. It was a rear suspension trailing arm. When on the lift the arm was bound so nothing to notice. Found it finally after putting the car on a alignment rack and going underneath.

That hemispheric ball wears out quickly if the rubber cover is compromised and this one was.

The whole time it sounded like a rattle in the top mechanism. The sound always seemed to originate much higher in the car than where it was. It was worn about 10 thousandths and made a decent amount of racket. Only on bumpy streets.

Interesting. Does it sound like a loose that came off sitting on something? Now you got me really curious. How to get under is another issue, need to make friend with someone with an alignment type rack.
