Squeak Squeak!
« on: 07 September 2010, 00:25 »
Evening folks,

I'm having a little bit of difficulty and could use some advice. I have a couple of rattles and minor squeaks in the car now. One of them seems to be coming from the tailgate. I have a sneaky suspicion that it may be the rubber ends on the parcel shelf (that allow it to rotate when the tailgate is opened). I'll be having a look tomorrow. The other noise is a creaking coming from what I believe is the passenger and drivers seats.

I don't fancy stripping down my seats  :cry: Anyone had these rattles and managed to sort them?

Thanks for any help  :smiley:

*Just found the  mk6 rattles and problems thread so reading that also. Think I might be able to sort it tomorrow  :smiley:

I have had
1)the door rubber ones, (Used autoglym rubber care on the rubbers cured them)
2)the fuse panel and end of dash ones. (removed sides of the dash used sticky back foam were the clips lie against the plastic panels to cure it. Also tightened the two screws that were loose behind these panels)
3) Had the door pillar squeek (fixed this with sticky back foam placed between the B-Pillar upper and lower trims, similar to the fix VW use on the 3 door)
4) Shelf rubbers bagging off the side panels on certain bumps, and also the warning triange clip ticking.
5) I have a clunk from the rear i must check out, im told to check its not the hatch adjustment so rattling on the catch or the catch can come loose so need to check its tight.
6) I also put some tape on the rear seat catches just incase that was adding to the rattle count :grin:


I have read about a squeeking passenger seat been replaced under warrenty.

I've got the same squeek which I'm sure sounds like its coming from the parcel shelf. I get a squeek everytime I go over a bump. Blimming annouying I must do something about it.
