In case you hear interior rattling from the trunk area:
Here is one that had me fooled for a bit - fortunately have no issues as yet with any rattles in my CT except that after about 1 week of use I noticed a really annoying rattle from the rear (even that origin uncertain at first given the acoustics in the car!).
Had my wife sit back there and sure enough when I told her to try to press down on the rear trunk privacy tray, the rattle went away.
Issue was staring me in the face (literally) when fiddling with attachments there to see what it could be and for the first time noticed the rubber feet on the base of the raised portion of the privacy tray (the piece that angles up on opening of the rear trunk).
I had previously messed about in the trunk with various features including the bag hooks built in on the sides and by default (or so I had thought) with trunk open had set them back to closed or flush with body (was testing the LUNO mattress fit at the time and did not want them catching on anything).
So after seeing the rubber feet on the raised privacy tray cover, of course I immediately realized you should leave these hooks open by default as a foot base for the tray - Doh!
Did that, test dove and was returned to a state of peace and serenity
Apologies - long winded account for a simple mistake but something that can be easily overlooked (at least by me!).
