Creaky Tailgate

Does anyone else have a creaky noise coming from the back of the car when driving?

I have a noise that sounds a bit like plastic rubbing on plastic. Hoping it disappears over the next week or I'll be back to the dealer next week to have it looked at.

RE: Creaky Tailgate

Yes! I have only had my car a couple of days and have noticed a creaky noice from the back. I also noticed when the boot is open that the plastic at the top of the tailgate has 2 rub marks one on either side!

Settling in? Little smear of vaseline to 'ease' things?

CJFP - this is what I thought. A little bit of Vaseline on my back door should help.

I think it is more noticeable now we have had the recent colder weather.

Not as well as LP it appears! Laughing

Nothing worse than a tight backdoor in cold weather.
