Have you got a rattle or two?

I had an annoying rattle which sounded like it was right next to my head on the drivers side, after a few days managed to suss out it was the the slider for the seat belt height adjustment. Worked it up and down several times and now no noise.

I have the same problem so will try as you suggest. I always used to think it was the window and the other day it happened despite having the window down a fraction. Thanks.

Has anyone had a rattle that seems to be coming from the back of the car?

If so I've got the solution. 😀

Tell us!

Just changed my vote to one rattle, coming from the front left hand door card. pulling on fake leather handle stops it for a while.

My rattle was coming from the roof (rear) and I thought it was a problem with the panoramic roof blind. Anyways told the dealer and he took it out and traced the rattle to a tray like thing which holds the antennae, gps etc which hangs between the roof and the headlining. Car was in for the day, headlining was removed and the tray rails padded. Rattle gone! Perfect, was so happy that the dealer found it first time around.

I'm just new on here. I'm sorry that so many of us have rattles, but glad to hear that it's not just ME!. I'm going to try your remedies and see how that goes. Thanks for the tips

i think I'll be raising this at the factory in November - how come more than 2 years into production cars are still rolling off the line with rattles in the same places as those that rolled down the line as pre-production and early build cars - it seems that LR are doing very little to cure a build defect and leaving dealers to stick in bits of tape and foam when investigation of build practices is what is required.Maybe weight saving has been taken too far

I believe many of the Evoques that have perceived rattles , may be suffering from mere friction sounds of certain material surfaces slightly rubbing together around the cabin,such as door / window seals,and the center consul build joins like where the alloy beams meet plastic panels etc.
My right rear window friction rattle of window glass and rubber (see above), is the perfect example,and after some frustration trying to work out what and where it was ,it ended up being fixed so easily with a bit of lube.
So after the joy of fixing my rattle with such simplicity, i decided to go over all door and window seals,the gap where the A-pillar meets the dash top, plus in between the center consul join gap, where the alloy beems lay side by side with plastic panels.
This car was basically very quiet after i fixed the rear door friction rattle a few days ago, but after that easy friction fix, and knowing i still had the very occasional and intermittent buzz or ticking sounds coming from the friction of parts within and around the cabin.... i thought why not go over all the main culprits, and see if i can vanquish them once and for all ........ so far,soooo quiet!!!
This is something anyone can do as a first process of elimination.
Summary - anyone with a rattle or buzzes..... the simple friction of joining material surface's should never be underestimated.
I must say it is a testament to the Evoque on how nice and quite it is,and that it's also the reason we can hear anything that should not be there.

I developed a rattle very recently, in the passenger-side rear door card. Over rough roads it became a consistent if fairly quiet rattle from the door.
A read through of the other posts on this thread had me heading out to Halfords last night and buying some own brand silicon spray.
Spraying the rubber seals after an application and test drive showed no real effect, but once I spreayed between the different plastic trims the noise has disapeared.

Thanks for the advice guys!

Hi got my evoque earlier this year from Stratstone Newcastle know where your coming from go to Stratstone houghton stony gate you'll be surprised at the difference
