Default Rattling Wagon

Hi guys,

Just picked up a Classic Wagon for the Missus, the boot rattles over bumps, apparently only when closed, e.g. cannot get it to rattle when open and 'knocking' it. Is there any adjustments that you can make to make it fit tighter when closed?

Mine did this for ages,for awhile i put a couple of turns of elctricians tape round the fastener but this wore through after 4/5 weeks.I ended up buying a new lock/catch off ebay for a few quid.When i looked at mine and the one off ebay i found that right in the top of the catch theres a small block of rubber that stops the metal on metal sound but mine had worn down.

Any chance you could post a picture of where you mean, just looked at mine and can't see where they may have been one.

I turned my boot catch upside down which has now reduced the rattle any other ideas?

I think I may just have some washers that will do the same job! That's tomorrow sorted!
