I think its either the window or the latch. I think that my subs might have helped casue this. Has any one else had this problem and if so how did you fix it?

A hatch rattles becasue it is loose and needs to be latched more tightly.

There are two ways to fix a rattleing hatch:

On the corners of the hatch are a pair of rubber bumper thingys. They are adjustable height so slightly unscrewing them will make them taller and hold the hatch tighter.

Or, you can mount the latch slightly lower in the body. Remove the latch and put a pair of thin washers between the latch and the body. This will effectively make the lact lower and hold the hatch tighter.

Thank you I will do this tonight.

 

the rattle is the latch. wrap some electrical tape around the post a few times and the rattle will stop. you just might have to redo every so often.

 

You could also dynamate the inside of your car

 

Well the rubber bumper's are unscrewed as much as possable and that did not help. Today I will try the electric tape idea. If the electric tape idea works is there a more perment solution?

If it keeps rattling I will blow up the inside for sure. ( For sum reason I found this suggestion very funny. )

 

My hatch rattled to all hell... and I tried all of the above, then got new gas lifts for it and never heard another squeak. Of course they were totally shot too. But it's something I would look into.

 

Where and how can I get "gas lifts" and what are they?

 

Hes talking about the gas shocks on your hatch lid. You might need new ones.

 

I just tryed the electic tape method and it worked perfectly. I no longer have any rattle. Thank you guys for the cheep fix.

 

My hatch rattles like a bitch. I'm missing one of the rubber bumps. Haven't gone and bought a new one yet..

Actually... take off the latch and remove the brass colored washers underneath...
it makes the hatch a little harder to close but it holds it tight...
i used to have the same problem...
