Europeans are most definitely less litigious but unfortunately we are catching you guy up fast
I was told (but dismissed at the time) that it was because owners in the US had opened the load floor with items on top and then the strut had not supported the weight and allowed the floor to close.
It is possible that its something that daft as I do know for a fact that some Audis have had their jacks removed for the US market in case owners didn't position them properly and the car fell off !!!!
Where that all ends I don't know ? No doors in case someone shuts their fingers in them ?
Back OT, I can't see the strut would rattle as it's under pressure when the floor is closed.
