991.2 - What are these grommet/caps?

[pandaboi78]

I found these loose behind the rear trim panel under the rear window.



They were in the channel behind the carpet below. Anyone know what they're for?

If you turn them over do they have a cup or socket? If so they may well be the two 'plugs' that locate the intake airbox. Under the engine lid remove the cover and then the two fans you will see the centre air intake box is located along the upper side by plugging into these two. They do have a habit of pulling out when the air intake is lifted away, often when the oil filter is changed.
If its not those then I would also be interested to know what they are.

They do look really similar. But it's not them.

The car has tints in the rear (carried out by a previous owner so someone's been in here and not put things back properly).

Never found out what they were for so I removed them. Just been through a monster effort of trying to desqueak/rattle the car. Removing the rear quarter panels was NOT fun.

How did the desqueaking go? Was it worth the effort?
I've just picked up my 991.1 and it's got quite a few interior squeaks and rattles, so pulling off panels and trying to stop them is on my list!

Didn't make that much of a difference sadly! I used this for reference. https://rennlist.com/forums/991/130...le-buzz-creak-squeak-free-991-2-interior.html

Thanks.
That looks like a good guide. Nothing to lose giving it a go I suppose!
