Hit it next time you have the hatch opened. It rattles a little when I'm going 90+.

How would you deaden the sound?

 

WHY IN THE HELL would you do 90+ with the hatch open????

 

Hit the plastic piece not the gas and you will hear the rattle.

Two separate things.

90+ will bring about the rattle when driving it with the hatch close i.e.

 

I had the same noise so I took off the cover and light and resinstalled them without any additional material and noise went away!!

 

Because the car just developed a squeek coming from the rear area somewhere recently. So high pitched, I thought it was coming from the speakers at first.

 

Cool!

How does it come off? I guess it's in the service manual. The plastic piece feel very lose...just from tapping it lightly.

 

It's definately a rattle. Just open up the hatch and tap the plastic lightly and you will hear it.

 

I can't remember but if you look at it you will see. I believe the cover just snaps on and the light had 2-4 screws. You might want to try just the cover to see.

I curious question are people with this rattle ones that had window tinting done? If that is the case maybe the guys that did it just pulll the cover back and didn't put it back properly?

 

I had the same problem. The dealer removed the light and placed styrofoam between the metal frames which corrected the problem.

 

Thanks guys....sounds like this problem is pretty common...let me push this back to the top.
