I cured my hatch rattle today!!. I took off the plastic trim and found that my wiper motor was a very little bit loose so i tightend that up. I then took a roll of Gorilla tape(from the makers of gorilla glue) and use it like dynomat and it worked very well. With 800w rms from the sub the trim does not make a sound anymore. i still get a little hum from my hatch handle but there is nothing I can do about that and it can only be heard from out side.

I was thinking maybe I should use this else where in the vehicle?

Im editing this to add that it sounds so much better , the quality is amazing I didnt think anything could make that much better. it is a very tight bass sound now as compared to the bass that sounds like crap. anyone know why it would make this big a difference?
 






for the hatch handle, if its like mine on my explorer, i used a twist tie..

i found one on the ground one day when i opened the garbage bag box..i tied it around the handle...it worked parfect..no more noise
 






My hatch rattles like crazy with only 400 watts going to my IDMax in a ported box. I need some liquid deadner.
