15 Nismo rattle trap?

Cyber370 · 09-22-2016, 05:34 AM

I have the dreaded rear hatch rattle and it is driving me absolutely crazy! The car now has 4800KM and that is the only thing that annoys me about it. I have tried fixing it by lowering the lock assembly as far as it will go and I still get a clicking noise if I push down on the hatch. It's as if there is an inherent looseness in the whole lock assembly. I have also added rubber foam inserts to the two indentations where the rubber hatch bumpers sit. No difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to take it to the dealer for this. I'm just afraid they will take the whole car apart and not really fix anything. Thanks.

PS: I don't understand why after 7 years of production, Nissan could not fix a simple issue such as this.
