Can you tell me if your rear window gas strut lifters rattle/are loose at the ends where they mount? I have a horrible rattle from the rear window, everything is tight, weather strip is solid and the only thing I can see that is moving is the gas strut lifter ball joint ends.

Mine have a heap of play in them..
I have WH Grand and had the same problem. It happened 12 months after I had the flip glass replaced. The hinge bolts where it bolts onto the tailgate where not tight. The window had slipped down a mm or two so the bottom edge of the glass was rattling against the tailgate metalwork.

I found it by tapping the glass at various points with my hand till I found it.
