At first I thought it was my Cobra wing that I had installed, but after torquing that wind down and putting studs in it I have realized that its my hatch I believe.
I belive I have heard there is a piece where the hatch locks that gos bad over time and starts rattling when it gos bad. By any chance do you have a solution to my problem or the pieces name that I need ![[Confused]](confused.gif) Its starting to really make me ![[Mad]](mad.gif) I have delt with it for a while now ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Thanks ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Try replacing that small platic piece that your hatch locks onto. If yours is cracked or damaged your hatch won't completely lock.

Might just need to re-adjust the strike bar

I know you hate my guts and stuff, but I had the same problem with my car, To fix the problem I took a piece of electrical tape and went around the the latch that goes into the lock. Now when you close the hatch its tight. Its not noticeable either of course.
My car would rattle when I was on the highway, it was really annoying. This fixed it.
Later.

Getting a replacement plastic sleeve from the HELP! section of the parts store will probably last longer than electrical tape ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
