2006 Eddie Bauer. Just started hearing a rattle in the back gate. Annoying as all heck!! Seems to be inside the passenger side lower corner. Any suggestions? Please help!
 












I had a similar problem. There is a black rubber piece that the tailgate hits when closed. Kind of rectangular and visible near the taillight with the tailgate open. Just rub a little grease or petroleum jelly on the rubber piece and the noise should disappear.

If its not the problem, have someone ride back there to pinpoint the noise. If it's still under warranty the dealer will be able to fix the problem, they have little kits with all sorts of different foam, rubber etc pieces to fix squeeks and rattles.
