My hatch rattles when I am at high speed (approx 85-90mph). What can I do to fix it? New bushings or can I just readjust it?

 

Yeah mine rattles over bumpy roads, in fact, it seems like the whole car rattles over bumpy roads, so I guess I need to track them down one by one...

 

Mine used to do it real bad. I took the cheap route and it has worked now for almost a year. I went around the metal loop on the top part of the hatch with electical tape two times. It has totally stopped the noise. I have been told you can lower the catch that it fits into, but then it may not aline properly. The tape has not wore down and it has been almost a year now and it is easy.

 

Thats not a bad ideal. I think I'll try that.

 

Use the electrical tape. Works great. Suggest you only use one wrap and try. Apply a second wrap if needed. Note that as you add wraps, the hatch becomes increasing difficult to open.

 

Ok so I tried the tape and it just cut through it when i closed the hatch. I havent driven fast enough to see f it helped or not so I will find out shortly.

 

There are two bolts holding in the hatch. Just take them out and move it down and retighten and VWAAAALAAA! It may be a little harder to close but it worked for me.
