Rattle Fixed! What the heck is this?
 

Hey Everyone,

I think I fixed an annoying rattle coming from the rear hatch however I'm not sure what the thing was that was rattling. When you take the lower back plastic panel out (right below the rear window, closest to the back of the hatch) there are wires and this black thing right in the middle. For whatever reason it seemed like the mount was rattling so what I did was loosen it and the rattle went away and then tightened it like crazy. Any idea what the heck this is?

Here's a screenshot taken from a DIY thread:

Again, it's that black thing right in the middle of the lifting hatch lid (two bolts on each side with a foamy, rubbery thing protected by a metal guard). It doesn't look like its attached to anything and just seems like it sits there doing some super secret job.

mouse trap.

It is a weight I believe, designed to keep the hatch sealed down.

its the black box that records the paratmeters from the ECu before an accident.

Is it? Cause I'm ripping that sh** out!!!!

haha nah bro. Unless it transfers info and power via the Magix

It also records when you fart in your car and sends it to the dealership so they can void your warranty.

Clearly it uses The Matrix, we must find Neo to stop them!

It's in all red Z's. If you touch it, your car turns into a 5.0.

Dammit...

And if Dan could ever find this button, he'd join the list.

for all that's holly, don't touch it then!!!

Any other serious answers or is the consensus that it's a weight to keep the hatch sealed? It doesn't seem to heavy to be a weight.

i cant imagine its a weight. they hatch doesnt need it

my honest guess is that that is the place the motor for the rear wiper would go in other territories.

I wish we had a wiper...............
