eryque Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 The hatch on my 98 Impreza rattles a little when going over bumps. The rubber stops appear to be in good shape. How can I make it fit more snugly so it doesn't rattle? Is it an issue with the latch maybe? If I have to I can glue some shims onto the existing stops, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

lmdew Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Pull the bottom trim that covers the latch catch. Mark the current position. Loosen the two bolts. Get a block of wood and a hammer and drive the latch back about an 1/8 to 3/16". Put it all back together. It works great, I've fixed the rattles on two 98 Impreza's that way.
