Thread: Tailgate noisy and vibrates

Hi !
Would anyone know how to adjust the tailgate ? It rattles when driving on bumpy tracks and is so annoying :-(
Is this a common , known issue ? Just purchased my Disco4 SDV6, 180,000km, 2015 HSE.

Yes, if you remove the shroud around the upper tail gate ‘eye’ it can be adjusted to apply more pressure on the rubber stops. It’s a bit tricky to adjust. I adjusted it pretty tight and left the two bolts slightly loose then closed it to allow some settling. Then tighten it fully. Might take a few goes. Too tight it’s hard to close too loose it vibrates and it’s a very annoying rattle.
