On the back glass, where it shuts over the door, if your window flexes and rattles, does anyone, know of a little strip of something you can stick there from stopping that rattle?

Get some weather stripping.

Before you do that, Try adjusting the latch mechanism so that the window closes a little tighter. Mine was absolutly horrible and I tried some weather stripping, but all it did was leave gaps for rain water to leak in. I took the weather stripping off and then adjusted the latch as far toward the front of the vehicle as possible. You have to push it a little harder to close it, but it really helps...

That wouldnt make a difference on my burb.

It just adjusts the striker, not the depth of the actual lift gate

I have a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder and i also am having problems with my trunk rattling. Are you talking about the rear glass?

No digital camera at the moment, but I'll look in my Haynes manual to see if they have a pic or diagram. If they do, I'll scan it and post it... Give me a few...

Better? **** Photobucket!!!!!

 

[danteBirosel 5,000+ posts]

yea, it looks better. so u want me to force it by pushing it forward?

You'll have to take the molding off. Once you do, there should be a couple of bolts securing the latch mechanism in place. Loosen them and push the entire mechanism toward the front of the vehicle. Once its all the way forward, hold it in place and re-tighten the bolts...

If there is something different under the molding, take a pic of that and we'll go from there...
