annoying boot noise

I've had the above since I have had my car and have read about other people having the same problem,I've tried numerous things to cure it including adjusting the bump stops.Well today looking thru the TIS software I came across the procedure for setting the stops using a piece of paper trapped between them and the boot lid.I adjusted mine using this method until it just grips the paper enough to prevent it being pulled out,took it for a quick spin and silence......hopefully thats sorted it,will report back after a few more miles are covered

i have a weird noise in the back as well but i think mine is coming from the boot cover. it is an irritating sound.

I had to get in the boot while the mrs drove the car to track down the noise,it is actually the plastics on the upper tail gate flexing as the the tail gate "rocks" on the bumpstops,well thats the theory anyway,as with most things time will tell

Thank's strummer,that sounds like a good solution for when I get round to it

I turn up the sound system when it annoys me

There always seems to be a whining noise coming from the passenger seat in my car.....strangely it only seems to happen when mrs x555 is with me

Guess that is the realisation that she is married to you

Gaffer tape and rope is best for whining noises from the passenger seat area I find

Had to laugh at that one, by the way is that how you kept the other half quiet during the Xmas break?
