boot latch clack

I get this weird sound when I go over uneven terrain (i.e. going over a speed bump diagonally, thus 'twisting' the body of the car).. It's more of a 'clack' than a rattle.. somewhat closer to a click.

It certainly appears to be coming from the boot latch. I have tried a couple of things but don't want to make things worse. Has anybody else had this problem? If so, what's the solution?

Bes regards,

You can try adjusting the rubber stoppers on the hatch. If that doesn't work, electrical tape around the striker should do it.

wayne290, thanks for the recommendation. I already tried that and didn't have any impact on the noise. As I mentioned it is more of a single 'clack' that a rattle.. I believe I had this problem in a SUV, but I never tried to fix it...
