Title: Boot rattle
Post by: golfhappy on 15 February 2016, 16:54

Having read the old thread on the noise from the back end, i've ended up with a wrap of black insulating tape on the drivers side round bracket for the parcel shelve. Still got some noise from the passenger side tailgate. I've looked at the bump stops and they're both even with 4 notches shown. From other threads 6 seams to be normal. What's others bump stops set at?

I have not counted but I know mine went in to have the boot realigned and they are definitely at different levels. So probably worth a bit of trial and error.

I also had a rattle that came from the back seat stricker that makes the connection with the seat back. I wrapped tape around them to stop the rattle.

I'll have a shot tomorrow. I'll check out the latches for the back seats also.
