I went to Home Depot... bought a rubber connector used for PVC pipes... cut it in half... rolled it up and stuck it on top of the 3rd brake light, on either side of the latch... worked perfect.

I just sprayed some lube on it, but I assume you did that first.

BAH!

1. lift up hatch
2. loosen hatch hook bolts(on car, not on hatch - little U that it hooks into)
3. push it down as far as itll go.....hold it there while completing step 4
4. tighten bolts
5. slam hatch back down on new lowered hook
6. go drive and notice no rattling because its on there so damn tight

note: if this doesnt work try something else

**you might have to shut the hatch harder after you do all of this, but it wont rattle anymore......at least mine didnt

let us know what works.......

Mine makes a noise, but its not a rattle. Its more of a sound like when one expells air from the lungs rapidly. I think it might be my shocks for the hatchback. Sound right?

Ya, shocks work fine on hatchback. It might also be compression of some rubber weather stripping, no?
