Default tC hatch rattle is fixed and its an easy fix

Sorry about the crappy pic. I didnt realize it til I got it all put back together.
1. Anyways looking up at the bottom of the hatch between the interior plastic trim (gray part) and the outside of the hatch (blue part) you can see a large gap with a loose push pin (white thing) type connector. There should be 1 on each side. On mine 1 was just loose rolling around inside there and the other was in the pastic part but not the hatch so the plastic trim moved around easily and rattled.
2. Should have taken another pic of this but next to the little pull down handles on the inside of your hatch there is a phillips head screw. One on each side.
3. Take them out so you can see inside the hatch.
4. Place the push push pin back into the plastic trim. Sort of like a C shape that goes around the push pin head.
5. Using your hand hit the plastic trim piece right above the push pin and this will push it back into the metal hatch. Dont hit it hard though.
6. Enjoy the quiet ride once again. So far so good with mine. The rattle is gone.

Open the hatch and look at the bottom of it near the latch striker. If you dont have a large gap between the inside plastic piece and the metal outside of the hatch you might not have this problem. They should fit tightly together and not be able to see inside the hatch like mine.

I did notice mine sticks out some , but I dont believe it causes any noises in the roof , which is the primary noise maker of the bunch . Also how do you pull the door panels off . Sick of being told by the dealership there is nothing wrong but when people get in my car ask whats wrong with the door .
