[[!meta title="Nico's Porsche Taycan Experience - Rattling"]]
## Introduction
This article is part of the series of
[Nico's Porsche Taycan Experience](/blog/nico-porsche-taycan-experience/).
## This is strange
There is no better title than this one. It's simply strange what you
are going to be reading.
Various parts of the car started rattling or making noises over
time. And when I say over time, this is all within the first year of
driving it.
For me, no car that I was ever driving did have such issues and
especially not to this extend.
For a Porsche, which is supposedly a higher quality car, I find it
rather surprising. No, strike that. I find it unacceptable.
## Rattling 1: doors
Some time in 2023, I do not have the exact dates anymore, first one
front door then the second front door started to rattle. Like loose
plastic.
The [Porsche Center
OZS](https://dealer.porsche.com/ch/obererzuerichsee/de-CH)
had a look at it and stated that "noise issues are not covered by
warranty, added noise insulation into the doors and fixed it at my
cost.
That's just strange and ridiculous, but at least they fixed
it within one try.
## Rattling 2: headrest
At a similar time, the passenger seat headrest started to rattle as
well. That one however was covered by warranty. Not sure why, maybe
it's a more common thing to fail.
## Squeaking windows
This one is also curious. In humid weather, the front windows started
to squeak, when opening or closing. But not just a little, but
surprisingly loud. The Porsche Center OZS replaced the guide rails on
warranty and the windows became silent. For about half a year, after
which the same sound started again. That time other guide rails were
replaced. As the car has been in repair for 2 months and I'm not in
the same country as of writing this article, I cannot say whether this
has been fixed or not.
## Review
None of these issues are crucial, but all of them are showing a
surprisingly low build quality of the car. Not once in my lifetime did
I have a car, however old or cheap it was, that made so many
unexpected sounds. And not only that, reappearing really makes me
wonder why the quality is so low.
