HATCH RATTLE FIX
Most everyone that has a 240sx Fastback at one time or another has had a rattle in it. This rattle is easy to fix in most cases. It is just the latch isn't holding the hatch like it is supposed to do.
Step 1. Remove the trim around the latch in the back.
Step 2. loosen the 2 bolts on either side of the latch
Step 3. Move the latch assembly down a little and tighten. and test your Hatch for tightness and rattle free. You may have to do this a few times to get it right. In this next picture you will see how far I had to move mine down. And by the looks of it was rattling for a long time.
NOTE----Check your rubber stops first to see if they are in good to fair condition. There is one on each side of the hatch.If these are missing or broken this could be the cause of your rattle. Do not adjust your hatch if this is the case it could cause your window to break or warp your Hatch.
