Hatch flex, any ideas?

[GregU 10+ year member]

My problem is my rear hatch, Scion TC, on low frequency's, flex's about a good half inch to an inch up and down. If I get someone to press down and hold the hatch down, it sounds A LOT better on the inside. I'm not sure if dynamat would fix this or not since it's the whole hatch that's moving. What would be some options that I should consider?

Thanks

fill the bottom section of the hatch (assuming there is a bottom portion thats similar to a door) with concrete?

remove the hatch?

remove the subs?

larger weather seals?

I was thinking of the concrete idea...

Any direction other than towards the hatch sounds like poo poo.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Bobtista (he used to post more), had a 9512 on about 1700w and he rattled his spoiler off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif It was pretty **** loud.

That took care of his problem.

Add mass to the hatch, i.e. spray foam, dynamat, mdf, etc.

you could also try to adjust the latch so its a tighter fit.
