This has been discussed a lot. Its a very common problem. First make sure everything is tight. You can also wrap some electrical tape around the metal catch. Its the constant metal on metal contact that makes the rattle.

See the link below on how I cured the back glass rattle on my 89 Jimmy. It has been over 2 and a half years and there is no squeak. The repair has held up very well. You might be able to do something simular in a 2nd Generation.

+1 on that. This is what I did on my glass that was squeaking and was driving me nuts. Works like a charm!

The problem with the tape method is that it is only a temporary repair as the tape wears the rattle will come back.

I completely agree with you there on being temporary, but if it is like mine where enough tape is put on where it is a tight fit, but not too tight to where it is hard to get open and latched, then it should last a little longer. Plus it was just what I had laying around for fix that I remember reading about. Temporary, yes. Mine still going strong, yeah for now lol
