Volvo wagons are notorious for developing a rattle in
the cargo area. In most cases, the tailgate trim panel has come
loose, and the rattle is the upper part of the panel tapping against
the metal of the tailgate. Since the panel is a large expanse of
plastic, it resonates at a lower frequency that what is expected for a
'rattle'. It's more like a clunking sound. This collection
of pages documents my project to repair the rattle. This car is
a 1995 965. |
