Default Creaks & Rattles

Anyone have any good ideas on reducing the creaks and rattles on a CRX hatch? Seems like a lot of shaking goin on back there.

Anyone ever use some rubber gasket type thingies? Like the stuff you put on doors? or anything else creative to cut that noise out?

So far I've come up with one way and thats just turn up the stereo, anymore?

c-pillar bar, upper strut bar, rear lower tie bar........fixed my rattles......if you adjust the 2 black rubber nipple (hehe) things on each of the corners of the hatch you can screw them in or out to adjust. Wrap electric tape around the latch itself...that a temp. fix

I had that problem with mine and I replaced the rubber seal that goes around the whole thing. It was $50 from hparts.com. You might also want to check to see if your exaust is rubbing the frame above the rear crossmember. Mine makes an annoying squeaking noise.

I adjusted the nipples on the hatch lid, then I messed with the door latches and adjusted those. I also messed around with the nipples on the doors. I then sprayed some lithium grease around the hinges and door panels. NO RATTLES AT ALL. Thanks guys!
