ED30 rattle

[16MPG]

Hope somebody can help as this is driving me mad, I've got a rattle coming from the back seat area I think, maybe righthand side, top of the rear seat. The seat is latched correctly so its not that, please help

Dammit, I have the same exact problem!  Cannot place the rattle though. Drives me nuts. Maybe it's the shelf?

Our RCD300 has a very slight rattle when cold. We're not sure how long we'll keep hold of it - we ordered the base spec to upgrade the stereo later. It's the only 'fault' so far, which isn't bad considering the issues old peugeots had from new.

yep, indeed, it was the shelf. Came off the hinge on the right side. Pushed it back, now everything is fine.

Are you sure its not from just above the headunit, there is a well known problem and fix for this 1

It's hard to tell - we've not bothered investigating yet because it goes away once the car's warmed up. What's the well known problem and fix? If it means taking the dash bits off, we might just wait until we get our hands on a new stereo and sort it then... I don't have the torx screwdrivers yet.

yes it means removing the vents above the stereo and wedging some packing in a certain spot, I've got a link somewhere I'll find it and post

I don't have the torx screwdrivers yet.MY old lupo gti used to do this only when the heaters were on full to the windscreen ,it was causing the plastic dash to expand slightly when it got realy warm,turning the heaters down slightly stopped the noise.

I will try 16MPG's suggestion tonight, I too have had a bad Squeeking from the back, more so when the body flexes when reversing. I tried putting silicone on the parcel shelf but I still have the bloody squeek. At this rate I may be checking myself into a special hospital soon!
