Depends on HOW it's ratling. <p>Is the hatch rattling becuase it's not snug against the weather stripping? Then you can adjust the latch so the hatch closes tighter.<p>Is trim ratling agains the hatch? If so, then just stick some foam between the two where they are making contact.<p>Is a trim panel rattling all by itself? Then apply some Dynamat to the backside.

Remove all of the plastic
Then work from there, testing with each individual piece untill it stops rattling.
I siliconed all of the plugs in the hatch to start with. I havnt had time to start placing plastic back in due to school and work
