Really bad boot rattle

[greer182]

right guys im on a mission, ive got a really bad boot rattle which i need to sort as its driving me crazy.

it sounds like something loose, maybe the catch. but ive tightened the catch up to the point where i have now rounded the star bolt. (not good).

the boot lid does'nt have any movment in it, so might not be that.

any other ideas what i might be.

and any ideas how i can get the rounded bolt out now, its the big one that hold the catch to the car.

many thanks

Jamie

either the number plate or your parcel shelf?

It could be the parcel shelf, headrests, check the rubber mounts on the top of the shocks, and take the hatch apart and check the wiper mechanism.

Oil / grease the boot lid hinges.

Check your centre seatbelt is properly magnet-ed onto it's fastening in the ceiling (unless you have it connected up for use of course!)

Can't you just tell a lot of people have spent a lost of time looking for boot rattles!

Also check your exhaust mounts and pull your rear seats up to see if theres anything fallen down under.
