Remedy for hatch rattle?

Does anyone have a remedy to help cure the ever present trunk rattle? It is getting on my nerves to the point it is going to drive me nuts. It's not exactly a squeaking noise, but more of a opening and closing noise. Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed!!!

Have you tried adjusting the rubber stops that are on the rear hatch corners? They screw in/out.

Electrical tape around the latch loop will stop squeaks at the latch.

Shoebox, thanks for the reply. I have not checked out the rubber stoppers and tried adjusting them...I will definately do that. I am getting the noise from the latch, so first thing in the a.m. some electrical tape will be going on. Thanks again. I'll post the conclusion in the morning.

SMU, I've been using the up the stereo remedy for quite some time now After messing with the stoppers(one was screwed all the way in and the other all the way out), and putting the electrical tape one...WOW!!! what a difference it has made...actually I drove around for almost 50 miles in quite just to see if it stopped...unless you count the noises from my dang springs ...anyways, thanks a ton Shoebox it helped out tremedously!!!!
