you need to determine what is rattling you should be able to listen to the rattle and determine whether it is a metal to metal rattle or plastic on plastic or plastic on metal rattle....best way to do this is to play system at a level that causes the rattle. Listen for the rattle and put some pressure on areas that sound like they are rattling. If the rattle stops and its one of the plastic panels which is very likely as I doubt a single w3 is moving that entire hatch than add a little weight to plastic panel in question. This will likely cure plastic to plastic or plastic on metal rattles. If its metal on metal you need to locate it the same way and put something soft such as a silicone between the two pieces of metal.
