I really hate to be like this, but...its an F-body. My 95 TA had a rattle every now and then as well. I would personally check your hatch struts and latch. If this is not tight, IT WILL RATTLE. Weight in the back seat should not influence this though. But its a good start.


On another note, I heard a story about some guy who after tearing his entire BMW down found a glass coke bottle in the seat stuffing with a rock or 2 in it and a note that said "Finally found that rattle, huh? You rich bastard" lmao.

Could be exhaust pipe rattling on rear subframe. Had that happen after cat back installation. Only happened when the car was cold.
