Title: Rear Lights Inner Section - Causing my boot rattle.. HELP
Post by: E30Dom on May 30, 2013, 01:34:47 pm

Ok for months I've had an anoying rattle with certain revs, or roads and it's been doing my head in,

Turns out it the section of rear light attached to the boot that rattling, remove from boot and rattle goes, shake the unit and it rattles, it looks like the main ring around the reverse light, that you can see the fins poking through the opposite...

Anyone had this? Fixed it? If so how please?

Before I get some aftermarket lights ordered preferably...

This worked a treat! No more rattle, so wish I did it sooner!

Happy days! :happy2:

Had a rattle from that area for about a year and never found it - going to give this a try, thanks!
