Anyone having issues with a rattle in the rear hatch?

The Dynamat helped but did not cure the problem. Although improved, there's still a plastic rattle that occurs over bumps.

I'd try putting some foam between the plastic and metal. Something with some give that you can press in there and keep some "tension" on the parts. If you have one rattle, you may have another. Maybe you fixed one of the rattles and now you hear another.

Good point! There are probably layers of rattles.

i would not do foam, it will move and it will rattle again, i bought some felt tape from amazon, its only 1mm thick works really great, you can use it to tape down loose cables and put a bit of it between places where plastic meets with metal.

wondering if i should try tightening down the hatch latch also.....

were folks really having a "rattle" type sound? mine is more of a crack sound anytime the chassis flexes over bumps or uneven road surfaces. not really an ongoing "rattle" as you go down the road

does that mesh with what folks on here were experiencing?
