It looks like a mass damper to eliminate some resonance, rattle or vibration. Maybe from the exhaust at certain engine speeds of from road input.

it looks more like a smashed turtle.

When i'm pissed I pick something up out of the spare parts bin and throw it or smash it onto the ground. It prevents me from hurting anything else that might actually matter!

I've been told that it's to help petit women on Japan to close the hatch. Why it's rubberized and overly complicated, not a clue

i think it's there for those that dont have a spoiler the weight helps the hatch close...but not too heavy that it won't open the gate when a spoiler is installed... :ugh:

yeah right.. :ugh2:

bascially anyone with a spoiler should remove it.

It may serve more than one purpose. Since the hatch is light-weight Aluminum, the weight may give the hatch some extra inertia to make the latch when closing. It can give the consumer the impression of higher quality (hatch doesn't feel as flimsy and has a bigger "thunk" when it closes). Personally, I like Enough's anti-NVH theory.
