| knocking from rear corners |
|
Folks, a few weeks back I starting getting a knock from the left rear corner, something similar to an item rolling about in the one of the rear locker cubbie boxes. Emptied everything out the back, with no success, so sat in the back whilst SWMBO drove round, and knocking stopped when I put my hand on the tailgate glass. Turned out the knocking was the plastic, spring loaded wedge locating thing on the side of the tailgate wasnt fully down (if you look at one you'll know what I mean), so the tailgate was knocking. A quick squirt of WD40, plus a bit of silcone spray on the mating face and on the wedge plastic on the body side and no more knocking. I mention it here as this week the drivers side started doing it, same fix, no more knocking.
Hope this might help
