Good morning guys.

I have a MK3 Mondeo hatchback.

I haven't had it long and had a few minor niggles most of which I have sorted.

I do have one however which is really annoying.

The back wheel arch inner plastic skin thing appears to have an annoying rattle.

I sat my 11 year old in the back and asked her to say where the rattle was coming from she said the wheel.

I parked up and went round the whole car looking to replicate the rattle.

I found it by putting my hand up above the passenger side rear wheel and touching the plastic inner wheel arch.

It hasn't got much movement just a fraction but sure enough the back door opened and my daughter yelled ..'dad thats the noise'.

So the question is has anyone had this before? Is it a common fault and is it easy to fix?

I haven't had a good look due to still being subjected to the remnants of the hurricane but can anyone give me any pointers?

thanks

they have spring clip fixings on the inner side almost near top by the shock,a cple of 8m bolts screw and about 4 plastic screws that sit in a plastic insert mayb your missing sum at the back by the shock and its vibrating against the shock

Thanks Peter.

I will take the wheel off later this evening and hopefully find some way of securing it....just to stop the rattle. I can then establish which clips I need and hopefully either effect a repair or purchase a set of clips if needed. :)
