snozzau New Member 6 Member For: 13y 8m 14d Posted 05/12/12 05:39 AM Share Posted 05/12/12 05:39 AM Guys,I have a really annoying rattle behind the passenger in my FG xr turbo.The ute is 2 years old and is fitted with hard cover and bar.It is really bad on rough roads-took it back to the dealer-they had it for 4 days and still couldnt find it !!!!!!!!!!Sounds like its coming from the small cut out section behind the passenger but I cant nail it down.Im hoping someone else has had a similar noise and sorted it.The cover latches fine so I dont think its thatHelp,Scott Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83095-hard-cover-rattle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I out electrical tape on it so there was no metal to metal contact, still there. Can also be leaves, but I can't work out where, or tray mounts Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83095-hard-cover-rattle/#findComment-1334360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like metal on metal rattle. I have this feeling it might be around the connection of the tray to the chasis. Or the suspension Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83095-hard-cover-rattle/#findComment-1334633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
