Yet more rattles - Tony - 01-05-2012 04:27pm Tracked an annoying and intermittent rattle to the rear hatch area, I think its coming from the panel on the inside of the hatch below the window. The panel is made from cheap plastic, it is either the panel which is vibrating or something touching it on the inside - does anyone know how to remove this panel without destroying the clips? The rattles in this car are really pi55ing me off now but 4 months into ownership its to late to reject it, what really gets me is I traded in a 3 1/2 year old FL2 which was totally rattle free. RE: Yet more rattles - Billionaireboysclub - 01-05-2012 04:56pm I have the same problem, I took it into RR, but they just put on plastic tape...so now I hear a muffled Rattle (01-05-2012 04:27pm)Tony Wrote: Tracked an annoying and intermittent rattle to the rear hatch area, I think its coming from the panel on the inside of the hatch below the window.

RE: Yet more rattles - hammie2k - 01-05-2012 05:03pm Yeah I have a rattle coming from the tailgate area.. not had time to get it back in yet but it really is annoying unless you turn up the radio to drown it out. RE: Yet more rattles - maxw523 - 01-05-2012 07:30pm Do you guys think it could be related to the panoramic window curtain/mechanism? That's what the mechanic addressed here in the US and it helped a great deal.

Hi Max. no not in this instance, sitting in the back and proding everything that could rattle I am 99.9% sure it is not the sunroof blind. The noise is further back and lower, fairly sure its in the tailgate, if I can get the offending piece of trim off I can tape up anything that looks or sounds loose. I specifically focused on the headlining initially as that had already been removed by the dealer to fix the passengers sunvisor rattle which manifested itself on the journey home on delivery day. Before anyone says take it back, my nearest dealer is a 250 mile round trip, if they cannot find or fix the problem in a working day, it cost me a hotel bill or a return trip, so I am trying to identify the exact cause before I take it in. In so many ways this car is fantastic but the cheap plastic materials, lack of development, poor build quality spoil it totally. Unfortunatly I am begining to hate this car! RE: Yet more rattles - benzina - 02-05-2012 02:41am Tony, i also have a rattle, but mine is in the left rear panel area, around about where the seatbelt comes out. I have directed my question to the rattle-man,who supposedly works for LD, and has information on some of the known rattle issues with this car. He does'nt seem to have posted much, be i noticed he did check in a few days ago,so it's worth a try in this thread here..... http://babyrr.com/forum/Thread-Stopping-the-rattles?page=4 It would be more benificial if ^^^^this thread could be found in the general section rather then modifications. |
