Default Hatch Rattle

Just drove my 2017 GS sport home yesterday and it was awesome. However drove this morning and already got the rear hatch rattle.Pretty silent on the freeway but city streets must worse. When adjusting the rubber stoppers on the hatch so the are longer and might make it fit tighter help? Any other thoughts before taking it to the dealer that i could try thats fairly basic. Thank you in advance. It was an early 2017 if that makes a difference. Delivered in January . Is this fairly common?

DIY first is always best. Turn out the rubber stoppers a bit at a time and try that first, while keeping an eye on the height of the tailgate. Plenty of warranty remaining. Try the easy stuff first. Could also be trim rubbing and rattling due to felt pieces moving or falling off during factory install. There's a member here who did a great write up on that.
