Default Insulated rear hatch

I was getting tired of hearing this rattling sound coming from my rear hatch. So I took off the frame panels and taped up some loose wires inside, put foam around the third brake light, the hand pull down grip was loose, tightened that up. I also insulated the inside, lots of room in there for echo's/ nice a quiet now when I go over bumps,

Good idea.I had mine apart to put in a T handle.
Taped up some stuff, didn't add any insulation, but
I did notice they sure don't have much back there.

I don't really notice anything....

Well maybe I do. When you hit bumps does it sound like a rattling sound of metal?

This was my next post. I keep getting a thud when I go over a bump. Thought it was my trailer hitch receiver(not). Tool chest in cargo area. Maybe even the hatch itself rattling. Now there is a starting point.
