My nearly new X3 went back to the dealer to fix an annoying tailgate rattle. After 2 attempts the tailgate always started rattling a few weeks later. Having seen this video I tried it myself and after 4 months the rattle has not returned. A really good tip, thanks!!

Excellent! Thanks!

Thank you, you saved my life. It worked for me as well, you have no idea how much I tried to find where that noise was coming from. Thanks again!

Glad it helped. It bugged me big-time when I first got mine!

Genius, thank you. Our X4 developed an irritating rattle/squeak from the hatch panel. Did some basic troubleshooting by driving around with the hatch partially open and then by isolating it with some fabric. That led me to wasting time gummifledge'ing the hatch sealing gasket and then replaced it entirely before finding this video. Strong work, thanks for sharing.

Glad you got your car fixed. It's super annoying. And to give credit where credit is due, I dug up this fix from some BMW service manual I found online. Glad they put that out there.

Just did what you've mentioned. Can't wait for a test drive. Thanks for the video!

Great fix, I had rattling issue on back door BMW iX 50 and your method fixed it completely. On the iX you can turn the studs by hand no tools needed

Glad to hear it. My rattles were so annoying but are gone now.

This worked for me, the rattling reduced significantly. I had to use a 17mm 12 spoke wrench for my G05 X5. And I had to loosen the stopper (counter clockwise ). No paper testing, I just had to press on the hatch above the tail lights while in closed position to see if creak or not. Also I applied some electrical tape on the prongs on the hatch that meets the stopper. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this! I wasn't able to find a wrench that would fit in the surrounding gap so I tried twisting it with my fingers.. it moved only slightly but that seemed to reduce the rattle already. A few days later the noise came back. Someone else suggested putting electrical tape on the hatch door part that meets the stopper.

@@FixEverythingYourself it's wierd, i am a automotive closure system development engineer, from my point, this kind of rattle noise come from stopper hit liftgate SM, and the cause is too small clearance or not enought engament B/W stopper and liftgate, our general way to fix this issue is increasing the engament of stopper, the way you shared i think will make the things worse...

These instructions come straight from BMW's service bulletin and have been very effective. My rattles are gone; same with many others who've done it.

Bmw x4 2017. I have a clunking noise on and off the driveway from rear driver side. Lower speeds i can hear it too. I thought its suspension bushing etc. I was able to isolate it to rear hatch as when i keep it partially open and drive, i dont hear it. So its joint causing the clunk. I cleaned some dirt arount those rubber joints and it has reduced the noise. I will try adjusting them as shown in the video. I think i found the problem. Since many are reporting the same. So test it with hatch partially open to islote this issue to these joints. No mechanic figured this out. Thanks again. I will post the update once i fix it.

These hinges, when exposed to dirt or car washes, can cause this clunk noise. BMW wanted to charge 200$ for inspection. Mechanics 70$ and they couldn't fix it. I bought 8$ silicon lubricant and sprayed it around these hinges, and the noise is 90% gone. I still hear very little. So i will give it a day and let the lubricant do its job. Thank this man for spotting the issue and sharing the tips.

did this rattle sound like a 'clunk" when hitting a bump at low speed or is this a fix for a contact rattle?

Not sure how to describe it but I think I remember it mostly at low speeds. It's been 1.5 years since I did this fix and haven't heard it since.
