third gens are notorious rattle boxes but the hatch is driving me nuts. I'm guessing that the latch needs to be lowered (or raised?) to snug down the hatch more so it wont squeek and rattle or is there another way?

 

Ha ha, good luck. Mine makes some strange creaking/moaning noises like an old wood floor.

 

there are those little twistys that keep that from happening

 

are you talking about the two rubber things on the sides?

 

I was surprised how many rattles went away when I got sub frame connectors. Unfortunately my dashpad rattles like crazy sometimes... I'm missing some of the screws near the defroster vent...

My hatch doesnt rattle either...

I'm going to assume with the parts you've listedo n your car you've got sfc's though.

 

nope no sfc's. im going to try messing with the latch position to try and make the hatch close tighter

 

fixed it the little rubber things twist out so its tighter now
