Any success?? I just got a brand new crz last week and this has been also driving me absolutely mad! Already had them try to fix it 3 or 4 times but no luck. It appears to be coming from the rear right of the hatch.

Nope- it is still there and they had the car a week.

My rattle is fixed now! For a few weeks too.

The dealer managed to get it done. The rattle was caused by the warped sheet metal between 2 pinch welds in the hatch. What they did was use a screwdriver to open up the gap in the panel and fill it with a RTV silicone to keep vibrations from coming back.

MachVEvan - I'm sure a lot of us would like a few more details of how your rattle was fixed if possible please. Thanks

Let me call the dealer and find out exactly what went down

I'm beginning to notice the rattle in the trunk! It's been on/off, but it sure is annoying me...

Well my dealer has had my car for a fifth time all week while I was out of town to find this rattle and I got a call from them yesterday that they have striped it, taped it and have made it actually worse!!! They asked if they could keep it longer.............. sure why not?
