997 rattly noise from steering column

[RT3]

Hello

My GT3 has an annoying rattly noise that comes from between the dash and steering column, behind that leather flappy bit, I've tried moving the steering wheel up and down / in and out but makes no difference. If I put pressure upwards on the wheel it stops, or if I put my fingers in the gap it stops. My 997 turbo did exactly the same thing does anyone know how to stop it, it's sooooo annoying!

I've got exactly the same issue. It's very annoying!

Have temporarily wedged some felt in the gap between steering column and dash surround and it seems to have fixed it for the moment. As felt is black its also not visible which is good.

Would like to know where it's coming from so I can fix it properly tho.

Thanks I'll give that a try, there must be a solution!

Strange, I have the same thing. It is so annoying. I tried taking the CD out, making sure all the bits and bobs in the glove compartment weren't responsible and adjusting the fans, but still it's there. Will try playing with the steering wheel.
