i was out tonight for my mot retest and i didnt notice any noises except when i went over major bumps or pot holes but tbh i can live with that as u hardly ever hear them. try taking out your parcel shelf and then go for a drive over places u know it would nprmal rattle at least u will know if its your parcel shelf or boot lid

Right, its not done it all day. and i've been all over (maybe the WD40 worked)... not done anything different so just going to replace all the cheap sticky pads with "22mm velcro coins"

... perfect fit for the tacky looking bodge below...

Only cost a quid for 10, and i'll just dot the felt type around elsewhere too...

Only thing i've not done is the boot latch sides like below picture... i taped up the metal peice that the lock bites to but not the sides. i'll put some there too...
