My LX has had this infuriating rattle for the past couple of months - an annoying plasticky noise coming from the rear. I thought it must be the number plate frame (HATE those things!). So I put in strips of rubber and blu-tacked the frame and the number plate to within an inch of their life, but to no avail. So I got my dad to drive the car whilst I sat in the back, to get a better listen. The noise appeared, so I put my hand up and pushed up on the metallic part of the inside of the top of the hatch - and the noise stopped. I think I have discovered the source, namely the rubber seal at the top of the hatch rubbing against the inside of the hatch when it is closed. I suppose I will have to put a piece of old cloth like a sheet or something over the seal and see if that makes a difference. It's been driving me nuts, this noise, but I suppose I will be driven nuts for a while yet until I find a solution that works! Of course, if anyone out there in Fez land has one, I'm all ears!
