Rattle noise

[bdavis87]

New owner for one month and love the car, but have a rattle noise in the trunk area. Are there issues with the hatchback?

I have to same problem. Happens when I hit bumps on the road. Part of it was the license plate. I bought a silicone cover and it helped a little. But after a while I noticed the rattles again.... my next guess is in the spare tire area, but I have not looked yet.

That’s for your response. I don’t have my license plate yet, so it’s not that and did check the spare tire to see if it was loose. Might have to take back to dealer for them to research.

Let us know what you find. Thanks!

Had it on my 22. This fixed it:

This fix worked as well. So far no noise.

Didn’t watch the video above so not sure if that includes this but in case it doesn’t … here is the OEM fix for the rattle. Replaces the pad and adds two bushings on each side. Costs $2.

Part number is 81738-J5010qqk (Washer Pad)

Haven’t had a single rattle since installing.

Have the same issue with mine, sent into the mechanics twice now, had the latch mechanism changed but noise still there, only when I go over certain bumps, mainly speed humps, it’s bearable just more annoying.
