That's complete rubbish, I have it fitted on my car. It is quite new, only last 3 or 4 months, and there's not much to it.., BUT IT DOES EXIST!!! Your lazy Dealer cant be bothered to do his research! Umbertob will put it right, he's really clued-up! Let us know the outcome, fingers crossed! MY12 SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ebony/Piano/Sidesteps/Privacy/Overfinch Olympus/JLR DRLs |

Just thought I would add my thanks to Brian for pointing me in the right direction in terms of his rattly tailgate solution. It may help other sufferers to know that due to a lack of Velcro in my garage, I applied a slightly different solution which has worked equally well.

A big thanks for this tip, it used to really irritate me but with all the other problems I've had with the car I felt a bit embarrassed to moan about a bit of a rattle from the tailgate. |

A big thanks from me too for this info. It has got rid of the worst bit of the noise from my rear . I'm told by my stealer that I have some loose trim that needs a new clip that will get rid of the last bit of the rattle from the back. Then it will be rattle free driving 06 2.7 HSE Bonatti Grey - 'Beasty' |

Hi guys, my RRS has been to a dealer recently to fix the tailgate upper section as it would not close properly. Now it has been fixed, a new latch was installed and now I have exact the same problem. Absolutely gutted, as suspension noise has just been fixed and now there is a new noise... Will have a look at it later today, and probably will have to take it back to LPR. Vadim A. |

So it checked the tailgate just as the TSB LTB00006V2 says, and the striker loop ha no black coating. Since the new latch was installed by LPR it makes the metallic rattle noise... I will be taking it back for the fix. Damn it! LPR is quite far away from me. But I guess once it will be fixed, the car will be dead quiet Vadim A. |

That must be really disappointing, especially as LPR are regarded as one of the best there is for looking after our pride and joys... On the plus side, I bet you are enjoying the lack of noise from the front end! |

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I am very happy with the service at LRP. Although the tailgate problem appeared after installing the new latch, which obviously was necessary and the actual problem affects random cars, there is no way they could have known my car would be affected. So no hard feelings there, I still will come back to them and will recommend them to a friend. Vadim A. |

Finally, got my RRS to LPR. Checked the tailgate several times and realised that the plastic bit, which had to be removed to install a new latch into the upper tailgate section, was not installed back properly and there was a big gap between the plastic cover and the actual door itself, as if the cover did not align with the door properly. Also, I noticed a small damage to the plastic cover right where the gap is at its biggest. My RRS is 6 months old and I know it inch by inch and I know the gap was not there, but appeared after installing the new latch.
