Rear cargo door noise

Rear cargo door noise
Had my XS about a month, I love it and really have not had any issues.
however, the rear door creaks/crackles constantly when rolling over even the most minor of bumps in the road. I feel like it’s at the junction of the glass panel and the door itself. Anyone had same and found a solution?

I have not (yet) had that problem. The new annoyance for me is the driver's seat clicking, like a click sound from cheap plastic somewhere. I dunno what that's all about. One of the the youtubers with a 90 mentioned it with theirs too. Was not a problem until about a month into ownership, much more annoying than the a-pillar crackle at highway speeds which I also have. I can see where slamming the back door might lead to problems eventually. Most people who reviewed the new defender slammed it and didn't realize it was soft close. The thing is heavy so going easy with it is probably a good idea. I close mine like a baby is sleeping in the back of it. Shhh.

Hmm, could be. Doesn't seem like it's coming from there but I'll keep an ear out for it. Thanks for the suggestion. I've been fiddling around with the track area when I hear it while driving and just end up with grease on my fingers.

Mine isn’t annoying enough to warrant a trip to the dealer on its own, so unless it gets worse I’ll ask them to take a look next time I go for something else.

I also have a intermittent cracking/clicking sound from the rear boot and have been unable to track it down. It’s not annoying and doesn’t happen all the time. But when it does my curious ears wants to hunt it down. I don’t think it’s the rear gate but plastic clicking somewhere. I’ve moved my hands around every inch in the back and unable to isolate. But again it’s not bad at all. But would rather find it too.

Noise in rear latch

The tailgate has a latch and a second non-latching "guide". On my 2020, I applied grease to the guide and the rattle is gone.
Other noises I've tracked down: seatbelt buckles for second and third row seats; rear seats and/or seat-backs not being properly latched in place; the hinged cargo area hatch in the 3-row seater model.

how did you fix the blind one? I’ve now got it too. Was yours at the front of the blind?
