    Avant tailgate plastic surround rattle

    I have an annoying rattle coming from the plastic inner surround around the rear screen of my avant. How is this supposed to be fastened? It's loose at the ends near the bottom of the screen but can't see how to secure it. It seems as though it should tuck in behind the cover concealing the motor/lights etc. but there is just too much gap/movement.

    do what i did. take some black cloth material, and stick it in the corners of the plastic to stop the movement.

      Never had that bit off but it does sit in behind the lower carpet trim. I would take the carpet trim off and double check its sitting on correctly as it has to hook over the plastic window trim each side and the wiper arm in the middle, can be a bit of a fiddle to get on as you have to get the top right, then push in all the plastic clips holding it on.

      To remove the carpet unscrew the black plastic handle at the bottom of the tailgate, then the carpet itself will just pull off.

      Nice looking motor by the way, green avants rule
