Sooo
My rear hatch rattles when i relese the clutch.
or at least i think its the hatch
anyone else got this/know what it is
I first thought it was my plate. and i took a paper towel and wedged it against the body but the noise gose on
so anyone know?

thanks guys and gals

 

cover the latch in electrical tape.

 

what part of the latch?
like the ring that engages the latch on the car....?

 

when you release the clutch in every gear or only from a stand still?
what part of the hatch? top hinges? bottom latch?

what's the sound actually sound like?

 

Only from a stand still....
Like a chattering or shuddering from the back of the car
i dont think its the hinges i totaly thought it was from the plate or frame on the back of the car. that dident do it...
it could be the little pirvacy screen maby?
dunno if their is adjuster for the stops or something
Dunno what it is.
Im still working thru the rattles in the car
everyone should check to make sure their downtube screws are snug...

 

but it's a metal on metal sound?

 

yeah sounds a bit like it.....
its triggered by a bit of like clutch chatter when i dont give it enough gas but its for sure from the back hatch
cause i know what the clutch noise is
Im not supprised it makes noise its got 56k on it.
Im just worried about having to replace it

 

hmmm.. i have a sound like that too but it's my exhaust touching the heat shields in the rear. only happens from a stand still and when the car's cold

 

cover the ring on the actual tailgate. i loosened the reciever part on the trunk, and adjusted it in as tight as possible and still had rattles.

however, i doubt that is your only rattle, but it probably is one of them.

yeah look at your rear most heatshields, and make sure there is clearance. also make sure the shield on the underside of your battery box is on snug.

may want to make sure your exhuast tips are on tight.

 

Ill check around on all of these tomorow after work
i have the miltech so the tips wont come off
though they do fit awful close to the body
the heat sheild may be it
im gonna wrap the latch this morning
