I want to fix my hatch rattle, what do I do?
Hey friends,
With my hatch closed, if I am standind behind the car and lightly tap my fist against the hatch on the left or right hand side I hear the rattle. While I drive I hear it while driving over rough parts of the road. With the hatch open I could not replicate the sound. Any solutions? Also does anyone have a bizarre sound coming from the seatbelt mechanism? Like a bad squeak or tiny rattle? |

I can't comment on the hatch issue because I don't seem to have that problem. |
I don't think it can be, because its a base; hence no leather. :(

It's that little patch of "whatever that is" right over your shoulder. Is that where it's coming from? |
No, I mean I have cloth interior. When I twist the seatbelt mechanism it stops. I think thats what it is, I just can't seem to fix it, and its right next to me ear, and it drives me mad.

In regards to the squeak from the seatbelt mechanism, I had this and solved it a few months back. It's from the plastic mechanism. The part that the seatbelt actually goes through is on a little swivel and the sound comes from that. I solved this by getting some WD-40 and shooting a tiny amount into the hinge (you may instead want to spray onto a paper towel and rub in in there or it may get all over). I did this several months back and the annoying sound coming from next to my left ear has never returned.

Yeah thats the exact spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you will do. |
The mechanic said he emptied almost an entire sound deadening kit into my hatch/roof to fix the hatch rattle. YMMV. It took him a couple hours (the day after I took delivery of the car) and we did a check ride together.
