Boot number plate surround rattle

Post by blanch80 » Mon Aug 29, 2022 9:33 am

Hi,

New Bongo owner - loving it so far, looking to resolve a few minor issues.

One is the number plate surround rattles every time I close the boot, like it’s not attached correctly somewhere but can’t see where.

I feel like the chrome trim might come off and there be some fitting there but thought I’d check first rather than break something.

Thanks,
David.

Welcome aboard!

You may find this site which has the mechanical/parts diagrams of use http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/

In this case this might help but it doesn't show all the bits http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html

Thanks for this but doesn’t seem to help.

Can’t see how it can connect securely from the outside, also took the interior boot panel off. Can see the lock mechanism, where the number plate connects but nowhere to secure that trim.

Anyone else had a similar issue?
