Default Got to the bottom of the noise!

Any of you with a newage this might be worth checking as I never did!

For the last couple of months I've been getting a loud bang when i go over things like rail crossings from the back of the car.

Removed everything and sat in the back with the missus driving and couldn't pin point it, checked the suspension, bumper, exhaust, rear top mounts etc etc but still couldnt find it, then thought it was the spoiler jumping so new seal round that and...no.
Picked the car up today from the bodyshop (well pleased with this photos later) and what with the boot leaking some water, I stumbled across the fact the rear window wasn't sealing right, and this is the problem!!
I cannot tell you all how much bl**dy head scratching this has caused me, what hair i did have has been pulled out!

So off to autoglass to get it sorted in the morning. Thank f**k for that!

(sorry had to share the joy)

Oh and why cant I use smilies?

She's a good driver, but was nice and confy sitting in the back with no seats!

Went to the boot today and after yesterdays rain the wheel well was full of water! Booked in with autoglass for sunday, hope it doesnt rain until after then! £106 it will cost assuming the glass doesn't break!
