2 10mm bolts for the lock the other things that rattle are the high level brake light number plate and plastic trim that covers the wiper motor.

i think it means high level brake light, number plate and the plastic trim that could make the noise.

man i have the same problem and it is annoying me iv looked at everything and cant seem find it =/ let us know if you sort yours

[SiThomas]

This is annoying me aswell !
Tightened the plastic trip covering the wiper motor, and that hasn't helped at all !
:wall:
Anyone got any other ideas what it could be apart from the above?

I've had 3 causes of bootlid noises. 1st was brake light plastic cathcing window - resolve by wedging something inbetween. 2nd was rubber seals squeaking against boot lid - resolved by greasing seals. 3rd (and most annoying of the lot) was the plastic which covers the wiper moter rubbing and hitting against rear window - resolved by wedging some foam tape inbetween. Hope this helps.

EDIT: I think the 3rd is the most likely cause.

right without video i fixed it...for me it was 2 problems...one was the number plate..u may think its only a number plate surely cant make much noise? WRONG! that fucker rattles so much ud think its turbo'd!

but the main one was the boot lock.. undone the screws moved it up a little and retightend the screws now car is silent! even over bumps..very happy! hope this helps anyone

my boot used to rattle, i looked at the bottom oart of the catch and half of it was missing, so i replaced the whole lot and now it fine

Exatli same here used a pair of plyers to twist the catch round and one whole face was worn down I.e giving room for movement. Had my head fried for a year

[Craig_B]

Mines been rattily for ages! and just thought it was the false floor i have holding my subs in place.

I might give a few of these ideas ago in the morning to see if i can make it any better!

nice one lads

[ace_pk]

it will most likely be the be the catch pal..no need for a new one..just undo the 2 bolts that hold the catch and move it up or down then retighten it..close the boot and test drive should be spot on :y:
