Bombarded the rear of my GT with WD40 "Silicon" spray this weekend. Didn't hold out much hope that it'd work, but left it overnight to dry, and the drive to work and back today was completely quiet.
Strikes me there's a lot of plastic in the boot area where other manufacturers would use rubber or even carpet-covered material. Alfa cuts corners with build quality in the boot area IMO
Give some silcone a go, Mike, in all the areas where there's any movement between materials. Might help
