Creaking In Boot Area Of 850r Estate

:spcartman: I recently purchased a 1996 Volvo 850R estate in manual. I am pleased with it only there is a lot of creaking in the boot area, especially when going over bumps. I'm not sure its the tailgate. It sounds like the plastic trim that surrounds sides of the rear area or the floor boards. Are there any problematic areas or known causes for that creaking noise? If so what are the fixes? And if it comes to it can I still buy replacement trim? It is driving me mad. Can any 850 owner, enthusiast or Volvo Specialist out there help me? Many thanks! Nick Horsham, Sussex.

Hi Tailgate trim does rattle and there is a fix for it, Rattle repair kit is available through the dealer. Rear seat latches can squeek and rattle, I spray mine with a bit of silicon spray, keeps it quiet for a couple of months. Hope this helps PM

Have a look at this: . this is the official volvo fix.
