Man.......DO a SEARCH for this....there everywhere....but here.........All you do is open the hatch....now on each side of the hatch....you will see a rubber stopped on each side......Twist it out a little bit.....And there u go......*HINT*may be harder to close hatch....but it works...

another way to fix it:

lift up hatch, on the hatch is the latch with two screws on each side.
unscrew the latch, take out spacer and put the latch back on.
rattle will go away but it will be harder to close and open w/ key but u get use to it quick and the less noise is alot better

Fast/easy? Wrap the latch with electrical tape.

I adjusted/turned out those rubber stoppers a little and also wrapped the hatch latch/hook w/ some electrical tape.. other than that I just turn up the stereo

Turning up the stereo. This is the fastest and easiest. This is what I do because I am a lazyass.

I have the same irritating problems. Honda did not engineer their doors, windows, and hatch's to last very long without noises. I am going to try everything that you guys sugggested. However, I already played with those contact patches and it helped but there's still some noise.
