(I did search "rattle" and "hatch rattle" but did not get any good hits)
Just wondering if there is a "fix" for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer rear lifgate "rattle"?? It's annoying to say the least and I can't seem to figure out where it's coming from or what is causing it...
My father's 03 Explorer has the same rattle and every now and then on our 04 the same occurs with our rear liftgate... His has over 100k on it, while ours only has 24k. Ours never rattled before, but all of the sudden over the last couple of weeks, it started doing it.
The sound is like a plastic rattling noise somewhere at or within the rear liftgate. We've checked to make sure the glass hatch is closed properly and tight as well as the actual whole rear door assembly. It's definitely something w/ the rear liftgate...
How many of you have the same rattling going on?
What was your fix (if you fixed it)?
Was/is there a Ford recall or something about this annoying issue?
