rattle in the back!

[tonyb]

hi,im a newbie having just bought a 1.6 hdi d-style+.However a rattle has occurred behind me when im driving over slightly rough roads.It sounds like something is rolling around in the door.Its not the parcel shelf as I took that out and the rattle was still there,any ideas?

[Bigfeet]

Check the back seat is firmly pushed into place and also take a look at where the rear seat belt buckles are resting as they can rattle against the plastic trim in the back.

Don't think its that as it still rattles with passengers in the back.

Mine rattled where the plastic air vent cover sits in the trim in the boot, I took it out, well it fell out rattling stopped.

Maybe it's just the rattle in your head? and not the car?

one is loose but it sounds as if its something heavier.

Lift up the carpet in your boot, you might have something loose in your spare wheel compartment.

In mine the actual hatch that was rattling.

There are two little plastic/rubber bump stops on the bottom of the hatch that you can wind out a little to stop any play between the hatch and the body when it is closed.

Worth a try, and only takes 10 seconds of your time.

Where abouts is this? I'm going mad with a rattle in the back. Sounds like the seat is wobbling about. Its locked in place though.
