t350 rear glass hatch rattle

[nickfb1]

When on bumpy surfaces the glass hatch rattles anyone had similar and managed to fix it?
Thanks

Couple of things to check before you say its the glass hatch;

I found that the little compartment in the boot floor where the cans of tyre sit was knocking against the inside of the body work (pull it out and you'll see what I mean) - put some foam strips on the edges and it improved but not toally fixed, yet.

The other thing I found was that the cans of tyre were actually knocking against each other - bubble wrap sorted them.

Having said all that though, I too suspect mine rattles on the odd occassion but (and I'm sure you've found this), once you get out of the car and try to replicate it, no amount of pushing and shaking the car will make it happen.

I had a rattle like that, and that also turned out to be the tyre "pumpperupper"....(cant spell airarsholes)cans bashing together,the wife soon solved it by putting the cans in a pair of trainer socks, however we do have a small chatter on one of the hatch stays,(not sure how to fix that yet!!)

We don't have a rattle

I had the same rattle, just adjust the pin on the rear window so that it is a tighter fit.

Conner, which bit is it that you adjusted?

[mrs fish]

Neil

Its the pin that latches into the door catch and is held in place by an allen bolt. This can be lossened and it allows the pin to move up or down the braken tightening or lossning the glass to the seal.

If it is too loose it rattles against the catch, thats the noise.

Hope that helps, James

Cheers James, I'll have a look at it.

Let me know if you've got a free night next week so we can go out for a couple of beers.

Mine rattled was adjusted by the dealer which cured it at the time. If your car is an early one like mine then you may not have the later adjustable catch which i believe is aluminium. Mine is some old leftover bit painted black.

thanks for the tip, I tried to adjust mine but the allen key had been burred though so will have to get a new one to adjust
