    Boot rattle somewhere!- edit: Fixed!


    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.

    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.

    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.
