My hatch in my 97 LS rattles a LOT. It does it when I'm driving down the road, and it makes a lot of noise at even the slightest bump or or dip. I can't really tell if its just the black plastic on the hatch itself thats making the noise, or if the acutal door is rattling loose. Anyone think of what my problem might be and how to go about fixing it? Appreciate your help!

WHY ISNT THIS IN THE ARTICLES...

 

[mattb]

in each corner of the hatch, there are rubber stops, these screw in and our just by turning them. they get flatter over time, so unscrew them out a little, this will force the latch to grab tighter.

 

[whitegsr]

tried that over a year ago didnt work

Well I fixed it, the problem was the three screws that hold the latch on to the frame....they were all loose and sticking out about an inch..tightened them up, and my ride was completley quiet. Try taking off the back plastic peice and uncovering these..they might be the problem.

where is this latch do i wrapp around with tape?

 

[NtegraDryvr]

I was wondering the same thing as achebee little more specific as to where u would put this electrical tape.. thx!

 

[timmy8151]

The latch you wrap is the one that goes into the locking mechanism.

Well i've been annoyed by this sound alot too, do you wrap it around the bottom of the latch or the sides of the latch? I tried wrapping the sides and the bottom of the latch this morning and it still squeaks over bumps
