Hi,

I always have this rattling / cracking noise from the rear., seems to come from near rear winscreen or boot. Anyone has the same issue? I know for certain that its not rubber / door seal noise. Thanks.

 

i have the same problem, i hear it when i hit bumps and such...any insight into this would be much appreciated

 

Are you sure it's not coming from the parking sensors which crackle when you unlock the car?

 

For mine it happens while i'm driving and drive over bumps. It sounds like the c pillars or something in that area is loose, and causing a plastic creaking noise

 

its the c pillar above the rear deck they make a crackling crinking noise. annoying as shit i stuffed foam in mine. helped some

 

sway bar bushings often squeek over bumps when the temps drop. They can be lubed or replaced.

 

Thanks for the tips guys, ill look into both of those suggestions!

 

I'm having a problem which sounds similar to what the op has described. Where exactly is the C pillar and how do i go about stuffing foam in there? Is there a DIY for this? lol

 

Also... Check out the third brake light. I fixed a LOT of my noises by getting that to stop rattleing.


Try this:

1) Remove the cover by pulling down on it
2) Now you see the brake light housing, some wires, etc. Drive the car over areas that always make the noises and have someone in the back seat press up on the brake light in different areas to see if the noises stop.
3) stuff some felt in between the plastic and the glass and in the cover area before you snap it back on.



The second place for all the noises is the rear arm rest
try this:

1) Leave the arm rest fully open and cup holders open
2) If you now have less rattles and other noises then you can work on the arm rest with some felt also.

With these two areas my interior is now almost completly rattle free.
