Third Cherokee I've had now that the rear door thumps and rattles, anyone know of a good fix for this?

 

I would take the back panel of and shake it around a bit, just so you can see if the latch is fully secured down. From there I would make another post and or take pictures or something. In my 88 xj I ended up having to put a rubber stopper into the gap between the latch and the push button to open it.

Shake the hatch up that is. not the actual panel

 

yea there should be atleast 2 rubber stoppers on bolts. I probably got a couple hours total of messing with them things through out the years but nows its good. oh and dont push hard on them they break inside...

 

FACT

 

Yeah, I can see the two rubber screw on stoppers. They don't touch the body when closed. I'll check the latch though.
Thanks

 

Then they turn to adjust how far they stick out.

 

Too big of a gap to fix with turning stoppers, it would leave only a few threads in the door.

 

yea that seems odd then. liftgate get replaced at some point maybe?

 

Not replaced but jeep did get hit in back, minimal damage, just a dent in the bumper so I don't think that did anything. I was thinking of taking off the stoppers and making them bigger somehow. Maybe using a paper cup as a mold and some kind of ..... Well I can't think of what material to use but I'm gonna look to see what I can find.
