Checked dust covers and their secure,but I THINK I might have found the cause - has anybody had problems with
the gas struts for the tailgate - when I close the tailgate but leave enough gap to hold and shake the strut with my
hand,the offside one moves quite a lot but the nearside is solid - this concurs with the rattle seeming to come from
the offside rear of the car - when I say it moves,its not the bolts securing it at either end but the strut itself -any thoughts ? - probably worth the cost of a new strut just to eliminate it - might ask my local garage to see what they
think.The noise the strut makes is metallic and kind of sounds like the rattle I hear in the car.
