Justin 9 Posted January 11, 2004 Is there anything I can do to stop the tailgate knocking over bumps guys? It feels quite loose when it's closed and you push down on it. With the state of the s*ite Oxfordshire roads it's driving me crazy, banging away behind me. Ta. Justin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichE 0 Posted January 11, 2004 Open the boot, and look up at the corners. Two rubber boots, one on each side. Turn them, they screw in/out. Adjust as necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 3 Posted January 11, 2004 You can also adjust the striker plate on the body to tighten it up a bit. Undo the two 11mm bolts holding the striker plate and move it down slightly. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
