Yup that was my best guess. Since the way I park, by the time I get out, the sun has been hitting the hatch area full blast from 12pm - 5pm.

It's such a minor rattle though... nothing compared to the random creaks and rattles that came from my MKIV VW GTI no matter what temp the car was at, and don't get me started on the check engine lights.
