Rattles in your SL55 ?
Hi all,
Any of you guys got any rattles in your SL55 ?
I have a plastic sounding rattle coming from the boot or rear of the cabin area.
It is most noticeable when the cabin is cold first thing in the morning and disappears as you drive. After about 10-15 mins it is gone!
I've looked everywhere but I can't find it.
It’s bumps in the road that cause it. It’s a light plastic sound and I think as the cabin / boot warms up whatever it is expands slightly and stops.
I’ve checked the bins and emptied the boot of tool kit, jack, wheel brace etc etc.
The roll bar makes no difference up or down. I don’t know about the roof because the rattle is only slight and you wouldn’t hear it with the roof down anyway.
I think it’s probably part of the roof mechanism but I’ve tapped everything in sight and still can’t reproduce it.
Any more ideas would be appreciated.
Graham.
