Some noises I'd like to sort out!

Hi guys!

I'm planning a 1000+ miles round trip back to my homeland, Italy! :driving:
But before I get at the wheel, I'd like some unnerving noises sorted out... Don't want to get road-rage because of them, you never know! :P

I've got this metal chirping sound coming from the left door, it sounds like a screw hanging loose or something similar! I already took the door card out and added the rubber stop (part nr. 51419159633) and exchanged all the plastic clips, but couldn't solve the problem. I noticed the noise stops if i press firmly on the door card, next to the airbag... maybe something related to the upper metal clips? Has someone a suggestion?

Next up is a noise coming from the back end, especially when driving on very bumpy roads (the weight shift causes it) and is very menacing :cry: . It sounds similar to shutting the trunk lid. I tried to move it about when shut, and the lid moves vertically a bit... :x Is it normal? How can I intervene?

Thanks a lot guys, your help is invaluable! :D :lol:
 
Item 6 from the pic below, for the life of me I can't remember it's name, it connects to the anti roll bar, anyhow mine snapped and I only noticed it when I pulled it down by hand, visually it look fine, it knocked every time I drove round a bend or pulled out of a junction, it could be that :thumbsup:

Mind you after reading your post again, the boot lid should have no play when closed for sure

 
Could be a broken spring on the back, the front..... loose airbag mounting bolts ??? Or loose bolts for the window regulator ?
 
I just took the door panel out again, tried with the window rattle fix (tightning the torx bolt behind the sound muffling foam) but it was already very very tight... So no luck there! Something else I can check before putting the panel back on?
 
I just found out the window moves about pretty much, the one on the other side does not! What should i do to solve it?
 
I could tighten the three bolts holding the rearview mirror base... They were extremely heavy to turn, yet not fully in. I gave them a few turns, trying not to break them. I then put the door card back on an moved to the trunk lid.

As a first try I just turned the rubber stops (51248254063) right and left of the lock on the lid, making them protrude some mm more... I drove for a bit and it felt better!

The jury is still out on both solutions, I'm gonna report ;)
 
I guess those noises are sorted out!
But... New ones came up during the long drive to southern Italy! Both lock buttons in the door panels rattle like crazy, especially if the lock is turned on and they sit deeper into the doors... Someone already had this happening? :O
