Vibration from boot/bumper area when driving at low revs?

[M@tt_182]

I've got a really annoying vibration coming from the boot/bumper area when driving at low revs. I know the parcel shelf is known for this but that's not the issue.

Could this just be flex in the rear bumper caused by vibrations from the exhaust?

Is the arm of the backbox securley in the rubber mount and not touching anything metallic on the body? Could be that as mine had the same issue when the hanger collapsed.

This. I've had to put bigger washers on most of the bolts on mine now.

check your numberplate too.

mine was loose and hanging off of 1 strip of velcro, whacking the bootlid. endlessly annoying, until I spotted it when cleaning one day.

Thanks guys, got a sneaky feeling it may be the head sheilds! I remember when fitting my exhaust they seemed a bit loose.

Also my arch liner rattles the rear bumper a bit "/

Checked the heat sheilds and they're a bit wobbly but not causing the noise. Arch liners is the next check, I will solve this problem as it's driving me nuts!!!

Mine does this. Seems related to the exhaust.

Exhaust can rattle on the bumper if it sits too high. Mine did it till I got it lowered slightly.
