Anyone having issues with a rattle in the rear hatch?

Davey

I was hearing a rattle over every bump in my NISMO which was clearly the latch, it sounded like it wasn't shut all the way. You could move the hatch a good 1/8" with little force, even when it was shut.

Last night I pulled the weatherstrip and the center panel off the lower hatch and moved the striker down and it shuts tight now, hopefully that takes care of the issue.

I noticed that too on my base Z. If you press down on the hatch when closed there is slight movement up down. I guess by moving the striker down the gap to bumper is now smaller?

I did the same, moved that black latch unit down a few mm, it does seem to lock tighter but the trunk rattles are still there.

Move it down more. Move it down until you have to hit the button twice to get the hatch to pop, if you can, and then back it off half a mm.

I put mine as tight as it will go, it's about as perfect as it gets, no double-tap on the trunk button and not too much effort to shut it.

Yep, I did exactly that, moved it down as far as it can go and tighten the two bolts, my hatch closes much tighter down and opens quite easy without having to pry it with my fingers. The rattle noise however is still there, I'm going to remove every plastic panel in the trunk and see if I can find anything.
