Rear Hatch Rattle - FIXED!! YEA!!

[StingerVetteMan]

So had the dreaded rear hatch rattle/clunk on my 2023 GT Line. Mainly heard it going over speed bumps or RR track or really rough roads. So annoying! Saw all the fixes posted here but one looked good. Per the thread, I picked up from Amazon these black Nylon washers. Removed the bumpers on the inside the hatch and added one washer on each screw. And Walla! Rattle completely gone! I had mentioned this one time at the dealer yet they couldn't fix it. Duh! For anyone looking for these washers, here is the link.

Our Blue Premium, purchased in the cold season, had a single *bump* sound over road irregularities, not a constant rattle. I was not annoyed by this but noticed it of course. A half turn of the adjustable bump stops further out seems to have ended even that sound. It also went completely away in warmer weather before I adjusted the stops.

Ha hah. Don't borrow trouble. Most Stingers don't develop chronic rattle/squeak/clickety-clickety/etc. The occasional thump/bump/knock, quiet, not repetitious, that is the usual development for aging cars. But, play loud music. That will be my go-to unless it can't drown it out.
