350matty Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Dont know what you would call it, the thing at the back with the silver Z which you can see from the rear window. Well thats rattling and its doing my head in Think its cos the silver part is a bit lose and rattles when i drive. Think it just needs a screw tightening somewhere. Anyone had this problem? And does anyone know how i can sort it? Would take it to garage but dont like them would rather stick a sock in there somewhere to stop it 350matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 If I remember correctly, when I took mine apart, the strut bar cover is only held down by a few clips! Best bet is to simply stick something like an old towel in behind it or put some blue-tac in where the clips go in so it stops rattling.

bronzee Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 350 Matty, you sure it's not your hatch rattling?? That's a common rattle, easy to fix too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure its the strut bar thing because of the type of rattling it makes. Think its the silver part of it that rattles. I hope its not the hatch thats rattling. Just pretty its coming from the strut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yeah, you'll need a long piece of metal with a flat end and a handle thingy, to pop the whatchumacallits of the rear Zed bar thingy.

urabus Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 i had this irritating squeak coming from the strut area a while back.........took the covers off and used seal/foam strips to cover all the contact points....etc went for a test drive after that...........the squeak was still there........then i realised the one of the clips in the bootlid cover (near wiper) was loose and was the cause of the noise..........
