rattle like box of wire coat hangers

Hi all, my first post.
My wife just bought her 206 cc two days ago, its an 04 but good condition and only 23,000 miles on the clock. She thinks its great but hard to get used to as her previous car was a Ford Puma which was sh*t off a stick. Anyway, we have noticed when going down an uneven road with the roof up it sounds like ( in my wife's words ) a box of wire coat hangers coming from the boot area. I've looked through the forums here and have tried lubricating the seals and tightened any screws that were slack. I have bounced the car when stationary but can't hear anything, could it be the mechanics of the roof and does anyone else have this problem as its the only major problem with the car so far.

Thanks
Tynesider

Hello Tynesider,
Obviously no one on here has had the same problem as your wife is experiencing and perhaps no-one here has a clue as to the cause or the solution. Otherwise one of our members would have contributed. :/
When you do find out what it is, and how to fix it, then by all means post it up here to help others. That's the way the forum works.
Best wishes and good luck, Ron

ive had this fault before, but from your post youd probebly find it easier to take it to a dealer,you can then let your frustrations out on them .....NOT.

one rattle from the boot we had was due to the long black plastic trim ( towards the rear and top of the boot) comming loose. Had to snap it back into place via the plastic clamps to the long round metal bar that the trim is hidding
