V50 General : Trunk Rattling Noise

[Pedro Costa]

Hello Everyone

Does Anyone else have an anoying Rattle Sound in the trunk\Tailgate when the car vibrates or goes over a bump, or on bumpy roads?

So far i removed all moving parts from trunk, including spare tire no luck

Any help would be much apreciated

Thank´s

Are you sure it's not being transmitted up from the rear suspension?

If its related to actual tailgate, check if you have plastic bumps on side of it (would be on left/right side of actual tailgate, pointing towards taillamps) those are suppose to allign the boot and make it not-rattle sideways.
Or if its plastic trim related, check the rear plastic panels that go around the back window and covering the rear wiper, in my case those were rattling like mad and had to put some foam to stop it.

If its suspension related, maybe rear shock mounts? those often degrade and snap...
