The rear hatch window rattles uncontrollably while driving. The only time is doesn't is when I am on a perfectly flat road which is hard to find her in MI. Does anyone has a solution to how to remedy this problem. I don't know if the latch is adjustable or if I should just maybe wrap the U shaped latch on the window with some tape to make it more snug in the latch. Any help is greatly appreciated.

someone on here recomended electric taping the hatch, i did, problem solved, if you open the hatch alot the tape will wear out though and have to be retaped, but it is definately worth doing

Tried the electrical tape and it helped a lot.

I got tired of the tape. I used a paper clip wrapped around the window latch bar. My bar was worn from the tailgate catch. no more rattles.

Vac hose may work-but will lead to moisture & exhaust entrance-there is adjustment in the latch assy!I took the right road-so should you-all you are doing is covering the symptom-not the problem!

the vac hose is not that thick it should close just like it closes with the tape
