I want to discover the cause of a rattle in the rear trim surrounding the top tailgate. Can't be hard.

What I want to do is once it's off, the stick the thick sound deadening material I have left over from doing the Defender, to stop the plastic resonating so much. Discovery 4 HSE

So, with a modicum of effort I removed the trim panel and cleaned up the inside, then used leftovers from sound deadening my Defender, it's a sticky black thick foam with aluminium backing. It's very dense so absorbs panel rattle.
