Default Hatch Rattle

I have read several posts on this subject, namely the annoying rattle coming from the rear hatch. I finally took the time to have this corrected. The noise comes from the inside of the hatch in the area around the brakelight in the upper portion of the back window. The dealership put in several strips of adhesive backed foam stripping about one inch thickand 2 or 3 inches long bewteen the inside molding and the surface below it. The problem is gone. This is an extremely simple remedy and no adjustment to any body part or fixture is necessary; a total no-brainer once you know the source of the problem.
