Weird rattle sound from tailgate

[pacpsu77]

2023 OBX Non-Squatch with Soft Top, I have a weird 'jangling' sound coming from rear cargo area. Happens sporadically not over every bump usually at slower speeds. Sounds like a set of keys or something. I've removed everything from cargo area, I removed the rear soft top prop, and my hitch rack still occuring. Is this just the soft top framework. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This thread helped me, i believe i was having the same issue that you were having. I bought the WD-40 white lithium grease spray and sprayed in the areas that Hashlak mentioned in the thread and it worked like a charm.

I also noticed more sound coming from the tailgate seals, so i applied this silicone lube from amazon on all the rubber seals. https://a.co/d/0Yv0sdr

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

Did you apply it to just the rubber weather stripping? Did you also add additional stripping like the post suggests?

No, i did not at any additional stripping, just applied the stuff on the current seals
