help!!!found rear boot strut brackets upside down now got rattles!!!!

[big si 1976]

Hello need some advise!

Before anyone say "turn stereo up!!"!!!!

Right as title I noticed my top edge of the boot was sitting higher than the roof !

So after searching I was led to assume the brackets for the struts were fitted upside down!,

To shorten this I looked and sure enough they were,so unbolted turned 180 degrees and bingo lined up!!!

Then took car for blast to see if this had cured wind noise I get,nope!

Worse than that I have annoying rattles all the time now at any speed!

I checked the rubber damper things 1 on each side taped all plastics in boot area can't get it to make rattling???.

Anyone done this or solved noises from boot lid area??

Any advise welcome as of too Europe soon & this will drive me nuts!!!!

Have you checked that all the tool kit/jack etc on the right hand side under the carpet is all secure? Maybe worth checking.

I will check but I think I would have noticed that before!?

I really think that now the interior trim is the culprit as now maybe touching the trim on the boot as correctly seating!??

Any ideas appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
