Removing paneling back hatchback permanently
This stuff is starting to rattle lately and was thinking of removing as to solve the annoying noise permenently.I was wondering if road noise would be greatly louder?
I was also considering drilling hole/s and filling with expansion foam to eliminate panel rattles. I find it extremly annoying and it drives me bloody nuts and angry. P.S I dont care what the interior looks like as long as no rattles are present. P.S#2 its not the hatchback door or tirecover or whats underneath 100% sure. |

I was thinking of that.I may get some really long screws with big washers and screw panels down tight.I will be removing panels totally tomorrow to see what and where to drill holes into metal for screws.I couldint care less how it looks aslong as the noise stops.Its to the point where I dont even want to drive the car its that annoying.

Run foam tape all around the perimeter of the panel and reinstall.

yarid hatchback hatch rattle buzz noise
that's odd. what else is there? might try driving w/o hatch struts? is latch mechanism now a possible source? (the lamp switch it contains is a mystery to me...was looking for a way to mod to switch off lamp w/ hatch open, then found a 1w LED bulb and quit concern for it.)

For a guy with what I would consider having mild OCD, I never trip on the squeaks and creaks cars make. I guess I just assume that moving down the road at +75 mph, stuff is always going to move around. I would expect less in a more expensive car, but I guess I just accepted it when buying a Yaris.
Having said that, ten years in and I don't find my Yaris making all that much noise. Mostly the back spare cover when going over really rough terrain, as well as little bit of bouncing from that big hard plastic dash. |

Hatch strut
I replaced one hatch strut. Under 30. USD w/ short wait at a local Advanced Auto Parts. (Toyota parts counter guy said "It's expensive" before looking up--140.) Looks just like original. (I think brand is OEM?) left and right same part #, but different # for rear wiper cars. Existing struts marked L and R. (so the rod is rotated right for quick assembly?)

Check these two points. Mounts can feel sold but if not completely flush against the liftback, the strut will rub against the body when closed (I used rubber pads to stop the rubbing but the struts tore right through them). You'll see wear marks on the body. There's only a small amount of clearance.

corolla drivers door hinge rattle like yaris hatch?strut balls sockets
what about the bit of play between the four balls and the four sockets of the two struts? post said hinges were checked. one looks a bit rusty dry. a hinge rattle got me to do front struts and LCA ball joints on my 91 Corolla, but last rattle is still there...75 % sure it is driver's door hinge(s)...only door that can be moved up and down a bit when opened(by lifting up and down at the latch end of the door). in fact, could make rattle go away by holding door open a few inches.
what about play somewhere inside a hatch strut? with as much as has been done tracing this, why not some driving w/ no struts. Warning! Something like a broomstick handle will get used here to hold the hatch open (as with replacing one weak strut). If it slips out at the wrong time, the hatch could crush a hand or head or something.
