850 / V70 More Tailgate Rattles - and you thought it was only the trim? Sorry, there's more to do

You want part number 9485477 and you'll likely need new gas struts too. All hold the tailgate tight. The wiper motor, the speaker trim panels and the tailgate wiring often rattles as well. Best you get SHMBO to drive whilst you sit as 'tail-gunner' in the rear and you'll see what I mean.

The lock brace (9485477) has been redesigned, although later V70 might have this, 850s don't.

Used to drive me mad. You will silence the thing... eventually. Have fun.
