I took that into the dealership and they replaced my rear top glass completly. I still get some rattle in there so i need to take it back. I now start to hear the hatch bouncing a bit harder than before and really annoyed me. I remember seeing that TSB and it was about foam tape and hammering down the striker lock thing. I did hammer the striker lock thing but still had the rattle. Yesterday after work i went to go fix this problem for good. I take the same route to work everyday and know where i hear the hatch bouncing up and down. Its now silent. Only thing needed is electric and foam tape for this project.

Wrapped it about 3 times. Dont get crazy or it will be harder to close the hatch.








i think the electrical tape method really is the one that worked on this rattle. The others are just for a little extra if needed but i did it anyways. After its done, do a test run and you should be happy i hope?
