Having the exact same rattle! I have tried adjusting the 2 small rubber feet located on the bottom of hatch itself but can't seem to stop the rattle.

Please let us know if the dealer has a solution.

Thanks

I took it in to the dealership yesterday. As pointed out in a reply from Toalmar they adjusted the latch.
There was no service bulletin for this issue.
The car is still under warranty, so I wasn't about to fix it myself. Also, the rubber bumpers are NOT the way to fix this rattle (if your's develops this issue). Advancing the rubber bumpers would prevent the seal from getting the pressure it needs, to seal.
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I also had this rattle on a I3 from 2015. I've finally fixed it using electric tape around the tailgate lock striker. :D No need to adjust it or make a trip to the dealership.
