Still Got Rattle in 04 STi (Challange Rattle)
Ok
Rattles again.
Since new ( 04 Sti UK ) PPP, I have had a rattle from the rear area
. It sounded like something was hitting the rear shelf. So made sure all the cables and tubes to the Cooler spray bottle were tight. No good. It’s been to the dealer twice now, they have driven it with the spoler of etc, still no joy. Now they recon the rear window is not sitting correctly 
(what ). So its now going back to have a new rear screen and surround.
Please has anybody else had issues
, if so tell me so I can inform the garage? Can’t believe it’s the window, and its driving me nuts

rear rattle
i have had a suspension rattle on all of my sti,s over the years, it appears to be the rear damper units as the damper rods tend to stick.
The only thing i have done is to jack the car up and spray some wd40 under the suspension boot around the damper rod, this works a treat but its a bit of a pain as it only lasts abount a couple of months.
So i hear is that subaru uk are aware of this problem and they have been changing the suspension legs on the rear and the top mounts only to find that the knocking returns later on.
