It was making a rattling noise as the pokey bits on the top made contact with the tire (while turning sharply to the right)

You can look it up if you know the model

May I ask where I can find such technical drawings? I'm looking to tidy up some rubber linings and investigate rattling sounds coming from the boot of my car.

If you search for OEM parts you'll find them search year/make/model weather stripping and it will probably pop up with a dealership website that has it.

I tried, but it's definitely not my area of expertise.

Maybe you will have better luck?
