| Thanks for the tip fellas, that's one rattley sheet of metal. I found mine was fixed on by two of the spring clips you mention, neither of which were pressed on as far as they'd go, and also by two or ... |

| It turns out that while I've certainly fixed the loudest and worst of the rattles I still have a feint metallic sounding rattle from the rear somewhere when hitting certain kinds of bumps. I suspect I ... |

| You think a Freelander is harsh try driving an Evoque. Dealer lent me one a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't wait to get back in the Freelander even though sometimes it also feels a little harsh to ... |

| Further discoveries today although I will admit to not having the side trim panel off yet. It does look like I might need to though if only to get the D pillar trim panels off complete with speakers. ... |

| Thank you for that great description. Very much appreciated. I'll take a look as soon as I can. One thing I know that is different on the 2013 is that in step 5 that isn't a nut, just a press in plast ... |
