Boot rattle somewhere!

[tomgti]

I have searched the forums, tried a number of fixes for other peoples boot/rear rattle from inside the cabin.
Can't find a fix.

If anything, mine sounds like a number plate rattling (Yes, tried removing that). Very annoying, particularly noticeable at low speeds over bumps in the road.

To me, it sounds like the passenger side in the boot somewhere. I have tried letting out the 'boot stopper' underneath the gas struts, with no luck obviously. ITs got me stumped.

Anyone else had this?

You don't have a child seat in the back by any chance?
I had an annoying rattle that turned out to be a metal buckle at the back of the child seat banging against the hard plastic.

Could be! The previous owner was using child seats..
Thanks - Ill check that out when I get home

The tail lights in the tailgates were prone to rattle. Check those as well.

Back seat bases not lodged properly is another one, as is the back seat uprights not clicked into position.

Well, I lay down in the boot while the mrs drove - on private property of course - anyway, the rattle sounds like its coming from inside the tailgate! :@ Grrr this is going to be an annoying fix.

Umai is correct, tail lights is the issue.

Not sure what the fix for them would be. We'd just replace the offending lamp under warranty. The reflector inside the light assembly is a loose fit, causing the rattle. You may be able to get a bit of glue onto it to secure it better.

YAY FIXED! Left hand side tail light lens (the one inside the hatch) was the issue. Removed it and super-glued all the tiny tabs (about 15 of them), let it sit for a few mins and popped it back in. Rattle free!! THANKYOU

After 12 months of nearly going insane from the same rattle, and my mechanic not having any luck finding it, I saw this thread. YES, same thing - put a little Araldite on some of those little tabs and the rattle is now gone.

Good to hear, guys.

Sometimes it pays to think outside the box.

Brilliant outcome! I've still got a bloody dash rattle somewhere behind my instrument cluster.....
