Many 245's have an annoying amount of bumpy- road noise in the rear section. After a l o n g search including having family members ride in the back and hold a hand to the various body seams, no luck. Then Eueka!! I checked the two rubber bump strips on the lower edge of the lift gate. They were well worn and being un available anywhere that I could fiind,. I now drive much more quetly with a 3X5 inch strip if inner tube layed on the sill of the door opening and the tail door gently but firmly closed with 'em adding to the bumped space. Now I can hear radio playing softly. floribunda.
