cupra tdi annoying rattle.Boot

[FAST AL]

Got an annoying slight rattle in boot.Just fitted new led rear lights so thought it was them.On closer examination after an hour and a half found it was locking catch rattling.Probably need new boot locking catch.Need to hurry though,only 3 weeks warranty left.Anyone had similar problems.Love to know.CHEERS.

wind down the adjusting rubbers a bit.

 

[FAST AL]

Its not the catch.My mistake.Its locking mechanism behind boot release catch.Worth a try though m8.

Yes mines a bit rattly, especially as I have no parcel shelf (dog). Very noisy when I close the boot.

 

[WaveyDaveyGravy]

Mine is very rattly but I just turn the stereo up, so many others I can't be bothered looking anymore.

 

[nick-barnes07]

yeah mine rattles to ,

 

[Nathanio]

Wind the rubbers out a bit and just make sure the catch is bolted securly

 

[AshCupra300]

Mine rattles in the boot as well, soon as I find one and sort it another one appears, can't be bothered anymore, as said just turn the stereo up

 

[thebeno]

I cant normally hear it above the constant moaning from the other half...

Leon Boot Rattle

Sorted problem.Took bottom inner trim off boot lid.[big hassle] Joining bar between lid release lever and boot catch is adjustable on thread assembly.Took apart and screwed in a bit.HEY PRESTO rattle gone.Best way to see if this is your problem before taking to bits is to drive along with central locking open.If noise has gone but returns when locked then thats the only way to resolve it.
Hope its helpful,
Regards,

Sooo glad I finally fixed my boot rattle. It makes driving so much more fun without little annoying things getting on ur nerves.

My rattle turned out to be the bar that joins the boot badge up to the main locking mechanism, the bar had too much play in it and is fixed by takign it off at the ball joint and screwing the black plastic piece on so the metal bar doesnt have any play in it.

Been fine since Sunday now, only rattle I get now is from speed bumps.

Had exact same if it sounds like a continual metal on metal tapping.....replaced boot lock under warranty finally solved it.

Same happened here... its the base of the boot.


My car went 5 times to SEAT to eliminate rattles.. came back worse every time.

Detach the rear lower boot lining..... put some cloth arounf cables... and edges...

Old tshirt... or blanket or so... Fit the plastic housings again...

No more ZOO SOUNDS in the boot.
