first post, first wreck, first DIY fix

[scottw22]

I went to test drive a Kia Stinger late last summer and the dealer just so happened to have a 2019 GTS on the lot which came home with me. It was great till Thanksgiving when I got rear-ended. The other guy's insurance paid no problems but the repair shop was a nightmare. They tried to give the car back to me missing a badge and covered in scratches and grease. 5 weeks later I got the car back but quickly found it now had a raging case of hatch rattle. I wasn't going to let that body shop touch it again and the dealer "couldn't reproduce the noise."

Long story short I did the hatch rattle fix floating around online and it worked. I couldn't be happier.
