there are 2 rubber bumpers that when adjusted will stop the rattling all together. just open the truck and you'll see them one on each side. i'm guessing that this will be something that will have to be done once a year or so because they will losen again, but that's a guess so far mine haven't been rattling at all

With my car adjusting the bumpers never really stopped the rattling. Wrapping the catch with tape did stop the rattling. So Spouseofhead should try that or else, if his car is still under warranty, have the dealer replace the catch with one coated in plastic.

This stuff worked for me - been over a year now and not a sound - adjust the gate stop out as far as you can and add this stuff. Use the "stiff" side.

I know its been said many a time on this board on various threads, but wrapping 4 turns of electrical tape on the latch part attached to the car really solved this problem. My hatch was rattling like crazy and now its rock solid after the tape on the latch and the stop adjustment as referenced above in the pics.

I also wrapped my latch-bar with electrical tape.

Problem fixed and not a single sound!

Re: Liftgate...grrrr
 

I gave tape a try and it worked - for a while - and then the tape started to shread. Perhaps I use the trunk to much; but electrical tape is cheap and easy to replace.

I think there's a plastic cover out there for the latch-bar that would offer a permanent solution.

The rattling can be annoying.

:p Agree, best solution

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

Gotta love electrical tape and velcro....seems we all had this issue!

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

I tried the tape idea since the velcro didn't work for me. No more rattle. Tape works! :D

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

Mines taped up too, been good for 3 months now.

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

Can anyone post a picture of what is being taped. I have been having the same problem. I have adjusted out the rubber stops on either side of the hatch but that only works for a little while. I am not quite sure what you mean by taping the latch bar.

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

I don't have a picture but if you open the hatch and look down into where the latch mechanism seats to the latch bar, you'll see what everyone's talkin about. Just wrap the latch bar, rattling problem solved ! :D

Did the tape and it eliminated the noise completely. Drove it about 150 miles on Sat. and not a peep......

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

yup i taped it at the beginning of the year and the same tape has lasted the entire time. i use my trunk on average twice a day. it is by far the best solution. i used the thick electrical tape. i felt that would be the best for long term

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

I Did The Velcro And Electrical Tape, It Worked 'great!!!!'

No More Noise At All!!!!

Thanks To Whomever Posted This!!!!

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

you probably dont need to do the velcro.

Re: Liftgate...grrr
 

depends..... i did velcro FIRST, and it was GONE. added the tape on the latch just in case.
