Be innovative. I've seen someone with a seatbelt that rattled against the A-pillar simply use 2 sided tape and a piece of cloth to dampen it. Wish I remember who so I could give them credit. Trace the noise by following it and touching various surfaces until you get the noise to change or stop (I have to credit Ken Suzuki for this simple yet brilliant idea). That should at least isolate the location. You may need a driver if it only happens at certain speeds. Use your ears, then use your hands, then finally use your own innovative ideas. I found I had a rattle - it was a coin holder I had. I moved it to a more solid base/location and lined the interior with some self-adhesive velour drawer liner. It worked. Be creative folks, you can find these and fix them. It may even be something you put in the car, as it was in my case. |

Replying to: jeffmc (Feb 15, 2008 10:45 am) however, regarding post #599, your theory is true. Driving at high speeds does indeed cause the noise to lessen considerably. I promise you and everyone else it is not any of the compartments in the rear. I took it upon my self to strip the cargo area clean of all compartments. It is actually pretty easy, everything is held together by plastic screw plugs & 4 little bolts. My point is when I drove the car with everything stripped out of it, the rear hatch noise was still their. ****If you recline the rear seats back a bit it seems to make the seat rattle dissapear, try it out.... |

The rear hatch struts were changed today - problem solved!! Even if your hatch appears to be opening properly the struts may be defective. Low pressure in the struts will allow movement when closed which can cause a knocking or rattle. Charlie
