Found some easy to kill rattles

All,

Rattles really do my head in, and so my CC was really p***ing me off.

I got rid of some this weekend using heavy duty velcro from Halfords.

Area 1:

Look at the furry plasticy lining in your boot. If any is rattling stick it down with velcro

Area 2 - The best one:

a)Look at one of your doors from the inside.
b) The small square cut out cubby hole at the bottom of the door.
c) if you reach into here and round you will see that the plastic door lining is made out of 2 parts which rub and catch against each other.
d) A couple of peices of velcro sorted that out too.

Areas 3:
Plastic panel in back (under rear window)

Haven't got a clue yet...but im sorting it this weekend hopefully.

Hope this helps

Steve

alot of rattling seems to come from my windows at least when the roof is down, there is a door modification which appears to be a peiece of rubber that fits on the door latch to stop vibration which echos down the doors.

I had an infuriating squeak which I traced to the velcro straps not being tight enough on the polystyrene box in the boot which contains the cans of tyre inflater.

I got a rattle in what sounds like the boot area, everythings secure, just cant figure out what it is. Any ideas? Its a heavy sort of clunking rattle sound.

I had a very annoying squeak coming from the boot area, and couldn't work out what it was. By chance I found it was the top of the number plate rubbing against the paintwork!

The Boot rattle could be that the lock striker plate is not adjusted properly.. So the boot lid rattles.. It took me a few months to figure that one out..

I also had a rather noisy boot. It appears that the latch mechanism was coming loose. It just needed the screws tightening. Hope this helps you.
