Make sure the rear seat is locked into place sometimes the catches unclip at the top of the seat on both sides.

i did have the seats unlocked about 2 weeks ago im sure i locked them back into place tho ill give it a check tho

if not ill put some bubble rap down where the jack and spacer go, to see if that helps,

its the boot lock catch it needs adjusted

its the boot lock catch it needs adjusted

That was my first thought too, need to do this to mine

[old cruiser]

If none of the above cures it mate, try some vaseline on the the V-groove of the catch in the hatch and where it meets on the boot itself, also on the rubber height adjusters, this cured mine amazingly enough!!

yea but the boot shuts secure, can it still make the noise even when shut secure? and how do i adjust the catch?

[John LE]

Yeah it shuts bu its no getting held tightly in place as it should, if you remove the black plastic cover where the catch is and slacken the catch bolts. Let the catch go down as far as possible and then re-tighten
