Re: Boot Rattle??
Its a little metal clip. They secure the hatch's plastic trim to the metal bodywork. One of several that are used. It becomes loose in its retaining slot. Mine has had it since newly new 2 years ago. Either the left or right vertical area of the rear hatch.
More likely to get further problems if they don't put the trim back on properly .
It looks like this......
If not look at the strut's internals being loose.

Re: Boot Rattle??
Thanks RW1.
Im going to get it seen to by VW. Ive only had my car since Decemeber so not long.
Hopefully they can sort this out ..
It is really weird that it could happen.

Re: Boot Rattle??
I thought I had the metal clip problem too, so returned to the dealers as part of warranty to get it fixed. Turned out the strut was actually the rattling noise, so they replaced both struts...
Re: Boot Rattle??
Yep maq mine has had that & think they will be doing it again come service time..
