Rear end rattle - solved

[Maxz]

Whilst checking the undertrays, worked out why when driving over rough road surfaces or speed humps, I can sometimes hear faint rattling from the rear of the car. Give the centre undertray just behind the bumper a tap. More than likely you will hear stones moving about and smaller ones will fall out of or poke out of the small holes. Seems somehow stones larger than these holes manage to get into this space also. 

When I have time, will drop this undertray to remove the larger stones and maybe work out how they are getting in.

They do indeed, i spent a good 40mins last summer tapping on that undertray, the amount of debris that kept falling out was insane
