My hatch rattles really bad (or something back torwards the hatch) and it is really annoying... Anyone else with this problem? And how do I fix it?

Mine only rattles if the hatch isn't competly closed. <P>There is another topic on this though already just look around for it.

Ok.. That's kinda obvious... <BR>I dont normally drive around with my hatch open. So I think it would be safe to eliminate that... <BR>I have looked and have not found a post on it yet, but I am still looking. If you know where it is ya wanna help me out there sport..

check all those plastic bits and pieces in the back, you probably got something loose, I got the same freakin noise, I know where it's comming from, but it's too damn cold, so i'll wait for the summer!<BR>I love rattles!!! lol

Check to see if your jack is not bouncing around in behind the plastic piece on the right side... mine did that.

some things to check for <P>The hinges of the hatch (if they havent been replaced) can squeek.<P>The jack is also a good place to check<P>My problem was that i had wrench attachments in the bottom of the hatch, one was in the spare tire well, and the other one somehow made it into the bumper, had to remove the bumper to get to it.<P>Good luck

Thanks for the help.... Alot easier than just rippin' my car apart.... Damn thing is so annoying!!!
