Tailgate/boot rattle

[Longshore]

Thank you so much for this , I have been trying to work out where the noises are coming from for weeks - don't know why I didn't find this thread before, but very glad I looked again. Just a shame I spent £120 on the garage trying to diagnose fix it, before realising that two mins and a bit of insulating tape was I needed!

It was at the point where I couldn't bear to drive the car, thanks chaps!

Can anyone please explain how to adjust bump stops and this:

I read somewhere that i can adjust this thing, meaning get it to lower or higher position by adjusting some screws which are probably below this plastic ?

As for the bump stops, they wont move a bit.

Hopefully this will help, its from the pre facelift but I would imagine its the same on the facelift.

Thank you very much but i have so much problems to understand those Seat manuals. Yes, i am not from english speech area but they seem to be understandable only for those who wrote it.

Fit the plate "as far back as possible" , what does that mean ? I don't see how can i adjust its up/down position .
How do i remove the plastic trip which is above the plate ?

Regarding the buffers, it's even more incomprehensible. It sais "loosen lock bolt 2" , but i don't see bolt 2 at all. After that i should pull something out !? I think im gonna give up on this on my own.

EDIT: I just went out to the car to take a look, didn't realise that there there is a tiny whole within the buffer with the little screw below. I should probably unscrew a bit and pull the plastic holder for one "tooth" .Regarding the striker pin, i got it, it goes up/down not by the depth but width.

I managed to unscrew them but i dont know how to move them, can u help ? Almost screew them out. I wanted to push them a bit more so that the boot have better grip when closed but they wont budge.
