I just read through this sites rattle complaint history and couldn't find the one I have. Here goes. When the hatch is open, I can tap it with my fist and it stays quiet. When it's closed, the same fist bumping action causes a "buzzy-rattle" that is the one I hear when the car goes over rough pavement/bumps. I have tried adjusting the bumpers out as I read somewhere and put them back when that didn't fix anything. (I can't even get a .005" feeler gauge between the bumper and the pad when the hatch is closed anyway). I read that hatch vibration/noise can be related to the struts but if I whack 'em with a piece of wood they're quiet. I'm flummoxed! (Love that word!). Any ideas? Oh. Noisier on the drivers side than the passengers. I have closed terry-cloth towel material in various places between the door and seals and in re-testing, it makes no difference.
