Also, does your guy's rattle at all? I mean mine closes up really tight, the bolts on the sides are pretty tight but i just hear a rattle now. Could it be the liftgate? I notice my liftgate has a little play when all the way up (side to side)

Yeah my tail gate rattles a lot when i hit bumps now. I was thinking about wrapping tape around the bar that the gate locks to and hope that makes it tighter.

I developed a rattle/creak in the latch for the rear glass (I have the tailgate version) a few weeks after finishing the install. I tightened the latch, which worked for a month, and then the noise came back. I wrapped the loop on the glass with hockey tape about 5 months ago and haven't heard a sound from there since.

Mine rattles from the exact same spot. I didn't support it enough while mounting the latch/striker plate and I think the weight of the carrier left slack in the lower bushing.
