I've had a lot of rattling coming from the back of my 08, and this morning discovered that the piece the hatch latch grabs on to is loose.
I can see what look like a couple of nuts with lock washers peeking out, and one is clearly loose. I assume those are what holds the latch part in place. Does the plastic piece covering these nuts come off without having to remove adjacent plastic pieces? And then, is it just a matter of retightening the nuts? Any advice to prevent a recurrence?
While I'm asking questions, I'm thinking about 205/R60 tires to replace my R55s. I've searched the site and have found a few favorable comments about such a change, but I'd be interested in a list of the pros and cons.
I turned over 193K this morning, also, nearly 10K since I got the car 14 months ago. I love it, except for the aftermarket radio.
Thanks for any advice.
