neo2810 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hey chaps, My boot rattles while driving, more so on bumpier roads so it's likely either the seals on the boot or the luggage tray. Problem is, I've had a poke around from the back seat and can't suss the source of the rattle. The boot seems tight when closed and the luggage rack doesn't seem capable of making the noise I get while driving. Anyone have a similar problem and can offer some advise?

michael Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Boot rubbers - common issue. Probably just needs 2 new lower rubbers - temp fixes also possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 in the drainage channels a few inches in from the rear.......2" piece of rubber......add some (don't go mad) blue tac to the top (if you look at the underside of the hatch you'll see the blocks on that that come down on top when its shut) and then go for a drive and see if the noise goes........

Snooze Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 In case you haven't got it yet, it's almost definitely the boot rubbers! Mine was the same when I bought it. Had been annoying the previous owner for years! Welcome to the club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thanks chaps... I had spotted the rubbers and thought they felt hard. I'll put a temp fix on tomorrow and order a couple of replacements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprab1 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I got & replaced my boot rubbers today, what a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Boot rubbers, my first mod Just a word of warning, Toyota use a bucket full of thread lock on the retaining screws, use good quality tools and even a little heat, as in some cases they can be a nightmare to remove.

TonytotheB Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I got & replaced my boot rubbers today,what a difference Good job mate. Mine are the same. How did you do it? What tools? Am I best getting it done 'professionally'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Good job mate. Mine are the same. How did you do it? What tools? Am I best getting it done 'professionally'? Philips screw driver & socket set job done . Just pull up the rubber seal that goes around the boot (just in front of the old rubber stoppers) get your screw driver & remove the 4 screws (2 on each) its that simple. My screws came out very easy. Just make sure you use the perfect size screw driver & push hard on the screw so you don't round the head. I'm sure you'll be fine.
