hatch making alot of noise

[fuzion]

while driving it sounds like the hatch is bouncing around every wear.
ive seen latched that keep them shut on some supras, but is there a more simple solution?

It might not be your hatch, it could also be your rear strut mounts, esp. if you have the 87/88 model those tend to get crappy after awhile

Thanks, il try both those methods, and check out the mounts

I replaced the bump stops in my hatch today and the rattle is gone. I would like to find the person who engineered that and bitch slap 'em. I about peeled the skin off my right palm trying to get those screws out. Luckily for me, my palm was toughed up from all those years of, you know, twisting my own screwdriver. :naughty:

Rattle is gone and I don't smell exhaust fumes anymore.

Sorry to dig this thread from the grave, but I just struggled with the bumper screws and discovered a very easy way to get them out. If you rip apart the old rubber stopper, you'll expose the screw heads, which can be then unscrewed with a metric 8 socket wrench.

At first I was using a dremel to slice a slit in the screw head. no thank you.
