Angry Tail gate interior plastic removal

Hello

The clicking noise comes whenever i hit the hard uneven road at low speed or when the wheels tend to sit at uneven slope, i asked people in my car and they said its coming from the ceiling but however i tried pressing the ceiling every where but there is no noise, i have no clues

the driving experience is ruined

im thinking of taking out the plastic trim of the tail gate, any idea?

Impossible to diagnose over the internet. It could be the panoramic roof creaking, in which case lubrication might help. Try cracking open the sunroof and see if it changes. I have a similar sounding creak over some surfaces, but it's probably the glass roof and it doesn't really bother me.


Your car is a 2012, so I assume it is still under warranty. Why not let the dealer handle it?

@ pete

thank you for your opinion, right now i wanna trying the DIY,

the noise is coming from the rear compartment which means it could be somewhere near the 2nd panorama roof glass which i cant open it

any idea?
