Default Rattle fixed

I was getting a rattle going over the slightest uneven pavement. Car has 400 miles on it. I open the hatch and wedged a piece of cardboard between the corner window and the first screw. I've also tightened all of the torque screws all the way around the hatch. I tightened the fender screws, gas tank screws. By the way they were all loose. No more rattle.

Guess they forgot to take your car over the rattle test track?

Reminds me of back in the day when we used to use matchbooks to stop rattles in the interior.........
