Avant - Rattling boot cover

Post by bravoit » Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:12 pm

Since buying my RS4 I've stopped using my boot cover as when its in place it rattles like mad. Is this the same for all Avant owners and is there an easy fix?

Mine was rattling a bit when it was folded out.
I used some insulation tape on the ends which seems to have sorted it.
Also had the seat belt buckles rattling so used some stick on Velcro on them.
Gone but not forgotten boohoo !!!

Put tape on the ends and that sorted it. Can't believe it was that easy. Thanks

I'm probably being a bit thick but when you say you put tape on the ends - where exactly is that?

You're asking a question on a 12 year old post.

Forget the tape & get part number 8E98986614PK

That should stop the rattle & it suddenly retracting
