V Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 As it says. Absolute bliss. No more knocking, & i can open the boot without it catching still on the latch, meaning i;ve got to take the keys out. I just used some 1mm acrylic adhesive tape under the palstic block on the boot, rather than changing the rubbers on the car. Worked a treat so far. I assume this is an ok way of sorting the problem? + these plastic blocks came off really easy with a socket wrench - dont know if these were/are suppossed to be glued into position. (havent looked at the srews for rubbers though) Cheers Stephen V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitt Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I actually replaced mine just over 6 months ago and the annoying knocking has returned recently - so I assume you actually took the existing rubbers off ( so to speak ! ), placed some tape underneath then bolted them back on. Mine are currently covered in silicone, sponge and glue to try and stop the knocking - has stopped in slightly but not completely ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Not quite. I took the the PLASTIC block of the boot, but left the RUBBER block on the car alone. Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outatime Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I cut up some old wetsuit boots and glued the pieces onto the boot rubbers. Its been rattle-free for two years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
