Hello,

There is a persistant irritating rattle in my V70 and it comes from the back left hand area and is particularly obvious when I am travelling on country roads which are less smooth, on the motorway, it is not such a problem.

Having checked all of the plastic fittings around the tailgate area, to find that they are all very firm, I have checked the tailgate, it is not loose, open or closed, I have checked under the floor in the storage compartments and where the spare is located, nothing it seems would seem to be contributing to this irritating rattle.

The one thing that I have not checked is the rear wiper motor and assembly, which sits in the void behind the rear carpet in the tailgate.

This is not the first time I have come across this problem, I have had two 850 estates in the past and both exhibited the same problem. Then I was prepared to accept it, now I am not.

Any help or sensible suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

James.
