D'oh, puke?
was it your bad driving that caused that?
Yup big old puddle of chunder! Nope, was driving in traffic at about 35 and he just threw up, was on our way to karting, could have been interesting if he'd done it while out on track!
Will find out on the way to work on monday
Applied sound deadening pads to metal door frame and bits to inside plastic door panel, couple of pads inside door skin, fitted deadening insulation to plastic door panel then felt strips around the metal door where the plastic panel edges touch

Yest had to buy some glass cleaner as my wipers were still ok looking, but started making noises on the glass. ckecked out the prices on Amazon, Halfords etc, but as I was going to Asda for my weekly shop decided to see what they had. Bought Anti-Fog Ext glass cleaner (1£) and Window Cleaner Int & Ext (2£) both Auto Drive. Used both and my windscreen came up sparkling inside and out, tried today in the rain and no noises plus the Anti Fog did a grand job as the water just ran off the glass and beaded a lot too. So for the price I have no complaints

Nice thanks for those links.
I need to buy some of these bits for my R ST.
The build quality on the interior of these cars is simply shocking in my opinion.
Is it hit and miss with quality as I am impressed by the quality in mine? I was expecting rattles, squeaks, panels not fitted correctly etc based on posts similar to yours. However I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality. No rattles, squeaks, creaks or ill fitting panels to be found.
I say yes, will go well with your gloss black front splitter.Little experiment - yes or no??? - i'm getting the grill surround wrapped gloss black eventually
I think having 3 doors we probably have more issues there as the doors are a lot heavier than on the 5 door models
Your lucky mate
I simply HAVE to have the Stereo on in mine otherwise it’s squeak and rattle central.
Can’t have it up too loud however.... otherwise the door cards vibrate....
I’m going to start tracking them down and trying to solve them one by one in the near future !!
Disappointing though, my 7 year old Mazda6 with 65k miles on the clock is silent.
My 2 month old Cupra R ST has at least 4 annoying rattles/squeaks just driving, and 2 doors that rattle with the stereo turned up mildly loud
I had some gloss black spare which is why i put it on, looking at pics i'm thinking matt black might be better as it'll match the grills?

I've only done 500 miles so I may have just jinxed myself. Touch wood it stays as it is as I cannot stand rattles or creaks, they drive me insane.

Parked it at the Airport and flew to Malta. Disappointed as I’ve only seen 6 Seats from the Airport to the Hotel; 4 Ibiza FR, 1 Córdoba and 1 Arona FR. No Leon’s at all
Least you get a cool Malta flag on your status for a while... um, shouldn't you be holidaying or something? LOL.
Can’t see the flag on Tapatalk
. Holidaying for me is car watching Beer, chilling out and Spa treatments whilst MrsMaypack gets the Sun
