Does anyone know if you can order this now? A few 991's with the roof, including mine, creak like grandmas bones. They're planning on changing the cassette, but I wondered if this would actually have a chance of working.

I just noticed they've removed it from the configurator frown On the upside, you can have clear rear lenses now.

do you get creaks even when the roof is closed? what about if it's just tilted?

I had this problem and it was remedied after 2 visits to my OPC. In the end they had to take take the whole thing out and reinstall. It was put down to poor fitting at the factory.

The squeaks were pretty bad and I was quite surprised that it had passed QA.

Anyone sitting in the car and driving it wouldn't have failed to hear the troupe of tap dancers in the roof! It was insane! I suppose I was a bit surprised that something so obvious could slip through their net. Anyway very upsetting but it did get sorted so I'm not complaining.

Glad it got sorted, sounds like a similar noise mine is making. Was yours the glass roof on a 991?
