Paul -C- Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I couldn't be arsed waiting a week to get my new boot rubbers to cure the common boot rattle problem, so I did a quick fix in the meantime. All I did was stick some double sided foam pads on the boot rubbers (pictured here: http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/hatch_rattle/index.html )Then I stuck some black electrical tape over the top of the foam. Took me 5 mins and I don't have any more rattling from the boot. Now if I could only find where the glovebox rattle is coming from I would be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 i tried that - even doubled up on everything AND replaces the circular rubber piece thats runs around the aperture of the hatch but to no avail .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 roy , are you sure its the rubbers, my tailgate makes a rattling noise, iam sure its the struts , because the tailgate will not stay up, the struts are obviously empty of gas or oil (whichever) hence the rattle .

Roy Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 peter - i am positive it's the rubbers as the struts work perfectly and whenever i add velcro strips or electrical tape, the sound damps down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
