Default I can hear rattles coming from the rear of my new TT.

Any 3.2 owners experienced the same thing? I got an appointment set up already, but I just want to know if this is an easy fix.

At first I thought the sound was coming from the tools in the trunk. I did a quick check and they are packed securely in the foam.

Try removing the rear privacy shield and seeing if it goes away. That's been a chronic problem

Default Pop out the rear privacy screen and drive around a bit.

My squeak didn't happen for aboout 7 months. Most of the time a plastic scritching sound or rattle is that thing - take it out and twist it in your hands a little bit and you'll see. I notice it when I back out of the driveway as the car comes off the sidewalk ramp - just enough body twist to tug on the screen mounts. Just wait for the seat squeaks.

Default How to fix many problems TT owners face on a daily basis>>

Easy fix. Just above the climate controls, there's a silver door. open that up. no tools req'd. turn the unit on that is in there and adjust until the rattle, squeak, squeal, chatter, grind, whistle, or whatever it is that you are hearing is no longer AUDIble. now you see where the name comes from.
