Wrap black insulating tape around the stricker, or replace the latch (which isn't expensive, not over here anyway).

Worked on mine, and no of a few others it has worked for to.

#14: Re: Boot rattle, I saw one thread... Author: nellyhaggis, Location: SheffieldPosted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 4:35 pm ---- I moved the latch on mine. Rattle was a gonner!
