Check the hatchback lift strut mounts. There is an issue with them breaking on the older hatchbacks. Mine broke on the right side and I used a fix that I found on the forum. Left side is starting to go, spot welds are stretching and the hatch lift strut hits up against the body of the car and rattles like crazy. Only solution I found for the time being until they snap off is to put a gob of silicone grease.
