Rattle from hatchback door in Xantia
something is rattling quite loudly from my hatchback door. I recall that when it was my company car t developed the same problem but was fixed by the garage - never found out what it was. I've tried to open up the rear washer area but the screws don't seem to release. It seems to be either the loose motor or maybe the locking mechanism. Whihc is more likley and how do you fix them?
Rear windscreen stop light ?
Try banging the glass with your hand and see if the stop light at the top of the window rattles - on my Xantia the bolts were loose when I got it causing it to rattle, and on my Dad's one the metal frame was touching the glass due to the gasket being missing...very noisy rattle indeed...when we drove it back from where he bought it (160Km trip) the noise nearly drove me insane until I remembered a roll of duct tape in my bag to make a temporary roadside repair.
