Howdy...

Do you guys get a banging or a squeaky noise from your parcel shelves when you run some bass through your speakers or crank your sub(s)?

I used to only get it when i was pounding out some low bass and when I was back at the audio store last weekend, I showed one of the guys who started mucking around with the tray from inside the cabin and from the boot. Now i'm starting to notice it just driving along the motorways etc.

I think i've isolated the places where its coming from and now need to try and fix it. i think its the cover from the rear wiper banging up against the back window and also just one side of the shelf where the vents are...

Has anyone else had this problem? I presume its common...

How did you get around it? thick tape, foam, some sort of divider?

If so, where did you get it from and how much was it?

This noise is driving me nuts!!! :crazy:

ahhh thanks Humbla. I have noticed that the shelf is sitting up. Maybe it is something to do with the clips. Have to try and figure out how to clip them down. As i said before, its only one side that makes the noise... perhaps one clip is right..

i noticed my left side (looking from the rear of the car) is loose aswell

i tried getting it back on with the slip but it doesnt seem to wanna sit there either..... i think its weldin time :P

Fixed!

Well... It appears to be for now...

You were right Humbla, the clip was facing the wrong way and just hanging out. Fixed that, then proceeded to put some foam tape stuff in some of the gaps as a buffer between the wiper cover and the back window and between the parcel shelf and metal.

All good! Thanks! :D

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
