Rear Parcel Shelf Rattle
« on: 07 March 2009, 22:41 »
Had to take my rear parcel shelf out to carry a TV & stand and when I put it back, it rattles like a proper bar steward and I'm not sure why. Everything appears to be fitting fine and I cannot see any reason for it doing this. Can anyone suggest a way of sorting this out? The rattling is doing my head in and it keeps my Mrs awake on long journeys...  :angry:

It almost 'clips' into place on the side shelves, has it definately seated properly?  :huh:

Put some black insulating tape along the 2 sides that the shelf sits on, worked for my old 16v

Try putting some foam (2 inch of foam-ish) sandwiched between the wheel arch and the folding seat on either side. Mine rattled and it turned out to be the locking mech of the rear seat so i used the foam to keep seat back against the catch.
