Thanks for this, i bought a mk7 a month ago and it was bugging me that they was a rattling sound when i closed the boot (something loose, floating about). Yesterday I got as far as the 4 bolts on the bottom section but i didn't realise you need to remove all of the trim as it's interlocked. Thats todays job sorted for today then!
@smithfee85 hi, yes I did. There was a piece material in the cavity of the metal panels. It was a rigid foam of some kind, about 20cm long, 5mm diameter. It didn't look like part of a seal and felt too firm, nor could I see any obvious missing pieces. The only thing I could think was that it was some kind of packing foam for parts that should have discarded on the assembly line?! If you follow the instructions on this video then it is very easy to get to
Really appreciate the good camera angles, I can easily see how you removed the trim.
Glad it helped
