Tonneau Cover
#38
I have had luck eliminating the rattles using some damping material. I still found it gets in the way too much whenever i need cargo space. The sad piece of plastic had been sitting in a corner of my closet since and never saw daylight.

My tonneau cover rattled on bumpy roads also.
Fix: there is a tonneau extension attached to the rear door (yes, you do have it) and it requires four snap connections into the rear door hatch. 2 of the 4 were loose on my car and I just pushed the connectors in. Rattle GONE.

^Yeah but you have to have it pulled out and I don't want it to cover the whole time. I was thinking of installing it and keeping it rolled up until needed. But apparently that makes a lot of noise.
Didn't get the chance today as I forgot about it. Will do it tomorrow.

Oh, ok. My extension is totally fine, it's the tonneau cover itself that makes a rattling noise on my part. I'll put it back on anytime this week, I just forgot where I put it, LOL.

I've looked at it and looked at it and was going to ask the dealer about it when I go in for my tire rotation. But you have now answered my question! It must have come undone by some part of the luggage pushing up against it. Thanks so much!!

This ones for you. Here a a couple pictures that might help you. The first is under the flap that you pull on. Just wondering if you have the felt on this area, it came from the factory this way.
Picture 2 is what I did to secure the Tonneau Cartridge in its place. I took one of those felt bumpers you use on cabinet doors and placed it in the corner as you can see. I did this on both sides. You have to push a little harder to 'click' it into place but it makes absolutely no noise.
I hope this helps you.
