so after reading and reading about rattle issues everyone was having i went after the boot latch and put some electrical tape over it, that was a super easy fix, thanks guys, now i can enjoy the quiet ride

 

I think I might have to try that. I have a little rattle in the rear of the car and I can't figure out where it is coming from. Thanks for the post!

 

sure thing, im glad there was enough posts about this issue, and it did the trick

 

I have had this rattle since i bought my car a year and a half ago! Since i took out my rear seats its been a real PITA so i had my girlfriend climb in the back, while driving, while parked and me shaking the car, EVERYTHING! and she kept saying "i think its the latch?"
Thank you for this solution

 

hehe yea, dont thank me, thank everyone on the forum who posted it before me,

 

I huge blob of petroleum jelly fixes my latch rattle right up! Seems so counterintuitive, and yet, it works.

 

There are 2 bolts 10mm I think that can move the latch mechanism in or out to control the closing depth of the hatch door. Adjust the rubber bumpers in all the way, adjust the latch mechanism and fine tune the closing pressure and the seam/gap of the hatch door to the rear quarter panel/tail light area. I had to do this on mine, problem solved.

hmm, havent tried this but maybe later on i will, tape worked ok so far and no problems, thanks for some more info as to the fix of the latch

 

My rear rattle was caused by a loose metal anchor inside the small boot cover, not the latch!

I fixed it using an Xacto-Knife and a hot-glue gun. I ran the knife all through the length of the metal rod that sits underneath the cover (seems to be there to provide extra strength in case you put something heavy on top of it). After that I "peeled" the cloth to reveal a metal rod. That's when I noticed that the middle anchor came loose. That was making lots of rattling noise, just pry it off and proceeded to hot-glue the cloth back in place.

No more rattles!

P.S.- Sorry, forgot to take pics of the procedure... :/

Cheers!

good call, too bad you didnt take pictures, it could probably help someone in the future

 

Here's my Mini squeak pita.
It would only happen when I let the clutch out and the rev's dropped a little. Then a few squeaks would be heard. Get this it ended up being the rear head liner and my radio antenna wire slip joint as it goes into the antenna. If I moved the wire up or down it would squeak. A little silicone and it's done.
