Asking for advice on the following issue - my brand new Cayenne 2021 has some annoying squeaks coming from the tailgate. Every time there is some torsional force exerted on the chassis (e.g. an uneven road, a speed bump), the car squeaks like crazy. I noticed the rear light also squeaks in a similar way when when pressing in from the outside while the car is stationary.

I am not sure what to do. The guys at the local service are quite incompetent at solving such problems and I thought looking for some advice here! Thanks a lot.

Tell them you will reject the car if you have just collected it. Is it being looked at by the supplying OPC ?

Ooh. Squeaky tailgate is a know problem - I’ve read about it on the US-bases rennlist forums. If you do a quick search there in the gen 3 cayenne forum, there’s a thread about it and how to (usually) fix it. It’s all to do with adjusting the bumpers on either side but I can’t recall the specifics.

It might be the solution.

Thank you guys. Adjusting the bumpers did it for me. First covered them in cloth to isolate the problem.
