Hatch Rattles Over Every Little Crack ??? is there anyway to keep you hatch from rattling when going over even the smallest of cracks?? Mine will rattle loudly and it gets very annoying enough to not want to drive it any distance. My question is there any way to keep it from rattling or has anyone else run into this problem i have been told it is a very common problem with f-bodies.
Anyone, Anything????

Stock suspension/tires. What pressure you running your tires at. I've actually never heard of this problem.

I agree with the above poster^
The stock shocks are the main reason these cars rattle, instead of absorbing the bumps they let the car just smack against them. And if your tires are overinflated your ride quality will really get bad (also with over sized wheels).
Also check the two rubber "screws" at the corners of the hatch itself, you can unscrew them some to make the hatch fit more flush, this may also help.

Not sure where you can get one (maybe a junkyard) but I'd start with getting the rubber screw and adjusting them. Hatch shocks won't do anything.
