Annoying Rattle

[Terminator]

I had been experiencing a annoying rattle from the rear of my '99 V70R and had replaced or checked the usual suspects; tailgate panel and trim, rear speakers, seat backs etc.

Then I couldn't take it any longer so I removed every bit of trim from the rear of the car including plastic trim, floor panels, removed and lubricated suspension top plates, checked exhaust and heat shields under the car. Still the problem persisted so I adjusted the tailgate strike plate which helped a bit but did not cure the problem. One of the Yank forums recommended a lubricating spray called Wurth HHS 2000 which is synthetic, slightly adhesive lubricant. I managed to source a can of this on ebay for £7, sprayed the strike plate, latch and rubber bump stops.

This did the trick and now the rattle has completely gone. Such a relief and I can now stop pulling out what little hair I have left!

We use Wurth HHS 2000 here in the dealership, good stuff it is too. (we buy it by the box of 12 - no idea how much it costs us though, probably silly money, but the workshop do insist on it)

These guys sell individually but the p&p is a bit steep:

Simon, can you supply it by the bottle from FRF Parts or is it workshop only?
