Subject: Rattle Noise from rear spoiler when closing liftgate
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may exhibit a rattle noise from the rear spoiler when closing the liftgate.
CAUSE
Depending on assembly variation of the rear spoiler, the clearance between the rear spoiler outer
panel and the inner bracket is smaller. As a result they interfere and exhibit a vibration noise during
the liftgate closing.
MASS PRODUCTION CHANGE
1. The thickness of the four protectors between the rear spoiler and the rear window glass has
been increased to give tension to the rear spoiler and to suppress the vibration.
2. Portions of the inner bracket, where the clearance between this and the outer panel is the
smallest, have been cut off a little to increase the clearance.
