annoying knocking

[happymum67]

Hi everyone
Just thought I would share this with you all. I had the taigate rattle and a few others to go with it. The car is now 1yr old,9000miles. When driving the car would creak inside,tried to find it myself.To no avail. When the window was closed it seemed worse? Ended up back at Verve.where I got it.Give them there due,they kept it 4 days and eventually found it after taking the back interior out twice!!! They adjusted the doors and Keepers they shut on.Then adjusted the windows.Problem seems to be solved. Anybody else have this creaking? If so,I hope this helps
Cheers

I have a creaky/knocking noise coming from my door, when i took it to VW they said it was the door lock?? They adjusted 1 which cured it, but now the other door and boot seem to do the same. In for service soon so they can sort it then

Yea,seems to be a common fault on the scirocco.The boot noise especially.Plenty of reports on this,Its usually the black stoppers on the hatch fhat need adjusting

After 18 months of wasted time, lots of visits to the dealer, lots of money spent on 'courtesy' cars, a change of door latches and lots of VW 'paste' at the dealers, VW customer services have concluded that the creaking and door movement is a feature of the car that is due to pillarless glass. I had a Supra for 18 years and it never creaked nor did the doors move due to uneven road surfaces. It seems that the movement is always more during warm weather or well into a long run as the car heats up and the door seals soften. Has anyone solved the problem with new door seals??
If, like me, you feel abandoned by VW, you could try the following: The creaking can be lessened by using nylon lubricant on the window seals and careful placing of a 1" cube rubber foam block in the door frame, at the waist line, will reduce the tendency for the doors to bang - it stops them moving. However, beware that these fixes may negate the warranty.
