Hello, back again.
Has anyone had a problem with rattling/clunking tailgates? I get a clunk only going over certain bumps since the car had only done 400 miles, mainly on the N/S. Evertime I roadtest it with someone it doesn't do it. I've adjusted the stops but still slightly there.
Also I have now a metal sound coming from the boot struts area, only noticable when opening and closing souns like a spring in side them, (there was a topic about this but from 2009).
There was a metal clip come loose in the boot trim (factory fault) and the rear spoiler creaked. Now fixed, it was not bolted on square.

Tailgate noises
I had something similar on my old roc. VW ended up replacing the rear shelf and adding some foam to the edges of the boot IIRC

I also get when the car's been stood a light creak from the rear, like bodyroll noises.

Mini update, took my car to the dealer and they fixed the boot rattle/clunk. Replaced something, not sure what, but there was a note from VW about it.Strat wrote:Yes, mine's at the dealers get it dealt with... if i find out what it was ill report back!

Re: Tailgate noises
Thanks for the update Strat.
I'v noticed this creak a few times aswell and nice to know VW know about it. I will be telling them about this creak and the vibration from behind the dash whenever it needs to go in
