Have you tried spraying some silicone lubricant spray all round the rear hatch and the seal between the upper an lower sections RR? The other option is a little messy but it is what we use on the ship for checking if watertight seals are fitted tightly............... liberally apply chalk or talcum powder all round one side of the joint , close the door and then re-open. where there is chalk dust on the unchalked side is where the two sides are touching. Don't know if it would on a car but it works well onboard - we do it the other way round to see if there is a gap in a watertight neoprene seal! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Not being one to derail a thread but this reminds me of a story I heard on the news this morning about an RAF Nimrod that stuffed a hole in it's fuselage with a kettle for it's trip from Cornwall to Scotland... no cabin pressure apparently, but the official comment was that the kettle was "to keep the cold air out of the cockpit so as not to cause discomfort to the flight crew"

I heard that one too on the Today programme...................... so the cuts in the defence budget are not affecting operations eh!

Ok so ive cured the creak and no need for sticky Velcro. All I did was screw in the 2 cushion stoppers on both corners and hey presto no more noise! I must of been messing with them at some point wondering what they do lol! Hope this helps someone else |
