Re: hatch rattles? Posted by JimBlake [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Power Antenna fix, Jason Carpenter, Wed, 12 Oct 2005 18:44:26 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
IIRC, there's several things to do for that.
Hinges at the top, you can probably move them only a little bit within the slop in the bolt holes. Of course, if they're just LOOSE, maybe that's it.
There's a reasonable amount of movement where the striker plate bolts to the bottom ledge. Also where the latch bolts into the hatch. I think you might have to remove the upholstery panel inside, below the window.
Then there's rubber bumps midway up the sides, those twist up & down to adjust how they hit their mating surfaces. They should hit firmly, but not so much that the hatch itself flexes too much. It's kinda trial & error, I guess.
What if it's not really the hatch? There's a foamy sort of pillow back there, which should press down on the back end of the parcel shelf board. Maybe it's that shelf that's actually rattling. Or maybe it's the jack under the spare tire??
