Does anyone hear any rattle from the hatch on a 06 model? I have had my TC for two days now, and have had this rattling sound from the hatch. pretty annoying. does anyone know how to fix it?
 
Many thanks,

try some foam tape (self-stick) on the hatch part of the bumper stops.. on the left side and right side.. see if that helps you.. let us know.. it's a known problem on the tC's.. usually foam tape on the bumper stops removes it..
 
also check to make sure nothing is bouncing around the spare tire area (remove the tire strap from back there too).. also to use foam/vinyl tape on the bottom edge of your license plate back there, that rattles too..
 
let us know..

Thanks for your tip. one question tho, what are the bumper stops that you were referring to? are they inside the hatch or outside?
 
Thanks,

if you look on the sides of the hatch.. left side, right side, you will see bumper stops on the hatch itself.. put some foam tape (adhesive type) to that area, and it should act as a buffer between the hatch and the other bumper stop it mates up to..
 
they are outside the hatch, on the left side and right side (black rubber with a big bolt holding it to the hatch)hope that explained it for you..

After applying some foam tape to the bumper stops on the hatch, I can no longer hear the annoying rattling sound from the back. Thanks Mark19

I have tried that idea. The rattling was on the passenger side.I had applied it to both sides and then the rattling started to come from the drive side. So i took it off the driver side, and then it was fine. I removed it all togher and it stopped temporarily. I'm beggining to think its a bad body design. The frame seems to warp when you go over bumps because i noticed a huge shift about in the placement of the foam tape. It moved from one side to the other, so i'm thinking that the hatch is not stable. Well i'll test this theory tommorow. Thanks for the post.

I fixed my hatch rattle by putting felt pads on the two rubber pieces on the left and right sides of the hatch.
That was two weeks ago and the I haven't heard a peep since.
The felt pads are the ones that you put on furniture bottoms to keep from scratching the floors.

OK! This is great! I'm glad I brought my car into the dealer instead of trying to do it myself. I was goign to resolve to just putting tape on the rubber pieces you guys are talking about. But i brought it in and thank God one of the sales managers owns a TC or this could have been a never ending battle. So to make a long story short, i brought it in, the tech says he's seen the problem before. It was a really easy fix. took maybe 10min. Here's how he did it, the two rubber things on the hatch, no the ones on the bottom the ones on the side, he just adjusted those and made them and not its tight and snug! Perfect, no rattleing, just usaual noise from going over bumps. Problem Solved. I own an 06 Flint Micha TC

06 Rattling from the rear...any answers? by tonka_tuph

Hey guys as my very first time buying a brand new car, I chose the scion tc. I am very happy with everything...to a point. Seems like i'm not the only one with the rattling problems. This rattling is coming from the rear also. I'm wondering if it is the hatch problem i'm reading everywhere. It sounds like its coming from the seats though.
 
I've only had had the car for 3 days, I noticed it as I was driving home from the dealer. I thought it might just be a loose article in the trunk that they forgot to secure. I got home and found everything tight and secure. The salesman said that he had some noise after reclining his rear seats, but as soon as he put them up it went away. I treid readjusting my rear seats back and forth between the reclind and inclined positions. I'm not sure if its coming from the seats for from the rear.
 
The sound is almost like a thump sometimes, then it can also sound like a clicking poping sound, like metal hitting metal.
 
Has anyone got any ideas. I'm brining it in to get looked at on Wednesday, but seems like bringing it in can become a disaster in itself after reading some posts. I'm so disappointed and pissed off.
 
Any comments would be appreciated.

I recommend always having Scion try to fix it. However, check out this link for some pretty good causes/solutions.
