Default Help, noisy hatch!

The back hatch of my car has been very noisy lately. I recently replaced the shock absorbers inside and those did nothing to stop it. Ive made sure its shut and closed, but it still rattles. I was wondering if yall have had any issues like this before and how yall dealt with them. I'd really apreciate any input you guys have!

Unscrew the bumpstops on either corner a bit on the hatch a few turns and close it again, see if that helps.

or you can adjust the clasp itself that is hidden under the carpet in the trunk, three bolts and it can slide down, this got rid of my rattlings over bumps
