Just picked up my type r. Was number 15xxx. Whenever I go over a bump at say over 30mph and it’s a decent road bump crack I hear a rattle from hatch area. Sounds like the lock mechanism and will bring to dealer this week to find out.

Almost sounds like it’s coming from below the hatch locking mechanism. Car has 150 miles on it. Really disappointed in the quality of the rear of this car.


I tore apart the rear trunk liner and drove around and still heard the rattle. Anyone else experience this. Normal driving doesn’t present the noise.
I experience the same rattle I thought it was the metal sheet on top of the muffler but its not.

Hey Gents

You can try twisting the two black bumpstops on the hatch. This was causing the hatch rattle to a few owners over here and it worked for them. Bit of trial and error either tighten or loosen

I am not near my car, but they are the two black rubber 'stoppers' (trying to think of a better word!) that are on the hatch at each corner right where it meets the rear bumper. As you lift it up you cant miss them..!

I'll take one later after work, but as sean mentioned, if you open your hatch and you have the upper part of the hatch in your hand with it opened all the way, look up at it and on each side left/right you will see a black rubber stopper. I just unscrewed my a bit yesterday and it fixed the issue I had.

This 100% fixed my ghetto rattle. I tested so many things and was about to disassemble my rear hatch.

THANK YOU!!!
