The hatch rattle did go away with wrapping the U bracket in electrical tape, but now its back and the electrical tape has started to wear down and become mushed up. Has to be a more permanent fix.... I don't think my two rubber stoppers loosen at all, but I'll look after work.

As for the windows, either ride with em up or all the way down or blast the stereo so you don't hear it as much. I just don't have the desire to rip my door panels off to fix the rattle.

ANYONE else have a rattling moonroof?? It doesn't leak or anything, but rattles when its open.

When I first start my car (cold start after sitting a while), there's this "Grrrrrrrr" for 2 seconds right in front of the passenger seat. Still not sure what's causing this rattle. Oh well, I still love my Teg.

For the hatch rattle, wrap some electrical tape around the lock-loop on the hatch. That solves it quickest and quietest.

The door rattle is caused by weatherstripping falling off inside your door panel. Takes no more than 30 minutes to fix. PM me if you want step-by-step help.

My moonroof doesn't rattle, so no help here...

and that "grrrrr" noise is coming from the ABS compressor. Don't worry about it unless it happens frequently (like every 10-15 minutes). It most often happens to me if I was driving around on a hot day, and I start the car during a cold morning...
