That nut can be taken out if you get it with a magnet from the outside.

You have to place the magnet over the hole (outside hole with the wing off) and open and close the hatch slowly.

IMO, it will be hard to isolate / fix a rattle with nuts rolling around in the hatch.

Genius solutions as always.

There is no escaping rattles if you have any motor mounts installed in your car.

I have JBR's trilogy mounts in 88/88/80 durometer. Here is a list of things that rattle in my car.

1. gauge cluster
2. steering column cover
3. right side dash (bolts may have come loose)
4. glove box
5. arm rest
6. cup holder
7. shifter console
8. rear seat belt tensioners
9. rear spoiler

You can pretty much see, it's inevitable lol. I tried fixing all these rattles with felt tape/foam etc to no avail.

Try lightly lifting the overhead liner in the middle near your rearview mirror. Just stick your finger in there and see if that get's rid of the passenger side rattle you hear.

I was thinking about this the other day and I wonder if you checked the distance of your PMM and the inner wall since you installed it. I was double checking the bolt torque on my RMM and PMM a week after I installed them and I noticed the PMM was practically touching the inner wall on the right hand side. You are supposed to have at least a 3/16" of gap there. I think doing this, in addition to the TMM significantly lowered the felt vibrations, but not the noise.



I tried that, it didn't work. I had to take the inner panel off in order to gain access to the center of the hatch. I ended up using 2 cheap telescopic magnet dealies and bending them to breaking. Then I raised and lowered the hatch until one of them caught the offending nut. This was almost an hour process because there was barely any room to work.

This trick works. I used 3m industrial outdoor velcro. When 2 pieces are velcro'd together it creates like a 5mm think double sided tape. Used that to wedge it between the head liner and the roof. It applies a little downward pressure on the front of the headliner and gets rid of the rattle.

the gauge cluster comes out easily and comes apart with very little difficulty. some velcro tape and some thin foam pipe insulation tape worked perfectly to silence that pandora's box of rattles.

Is there a how to thread for this?

It was loud, and it made the sound everytime I drove. I made them do a ride along, and when it started I said..."Tell me you DON'T hear that?" Had a tech in the back messing with the locking mechanism, he was almost certain he fixed it like THREE times, only for me to drive back after a test drive and tell them it still did it. You can't stop it by pushing on the mechanism. So I went in, and said "So what, am I shit out of luck then?" and the guy at the counter said something along the lines of "nope, we're gonna order you a new locking mechanism, under warranty." ....I was REALLY happy considering the noise made me almost sell the car.

do you have a picture of where you applied the silicone adhesive? I already adjusted the latch, but it still rattles. need to try this to see if it works. Thank you!

I have a 2013 with 1500 miles and it rattles like a 89 Honda. Annoying as fuck and makes the car feel cheap.

Anybody else repeatedly bash the spot u think is rattling and hope it goes away?

I don't know if bashing the "trouble" area is gonna fix it...check your sunglasses holder and latch area. Also make sure your glove box is completely shut...I had some papers stuck in it which caused it not to latch properly and it rattled bad.

For the record I've done the spoiler fix. Added butyl rope and tightened all bolts.

I had my gf sit in the hatch yesterday while I drove and it's definitely coming from the latch area.
