Question Arch liner rattle????

Hi guys,
Ive finally fitted my coilovers!! (only 3months late!)

Anyway,ive lowered it 50mm and have no clearence issues however the slightest bump in the road causes an annoying rattle at the rear of the car that when tapping the black arch liner makes the same noise!

Has anyone else had this trouble?? Is it worth taking out the liner completely or will i get to much water/mud in the wrong places causing more trouble in the future??

Will get pic of car on here soon!!!!!

Nice one Jon, looking forward to seeing the pics mate.

I've sometimes had a similar sound with my coilovers when I go over some speed bumps where I live a little bit too fast.... doesn't happen when I go over them real slow though. So I can only imagine that it's the tyre hitting the arch liner.

You would have to be careful of removing the arch liner though as you could end up where water has been collecting up inside the bodywork and then it would start to rust from the inside out
