Radio Noise and Lift Gate Rattle

Greetings folks,

I have two "noise" issues, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing. I've done a search here on the forums, and found a solution to the one issue, but not the other. I was wondering if anyone else had these challenges, and access possibly to the TSB or what the resolution was for the challenge.

1. Lift Gate "Rattle" - My lift gate rattles like crazy. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesnt. I've tried closing the gate & the glass hard, and it does not seem to have any effect. Not sure if the rubber stops are worn out, and if so, where. UMBERTOB had posted a TSB on this (LTB00424NAS1), so I am going to give it a shot, but not sure if it really addresses my issue. Anyone have this happen as well?

2. Radio "Machine Gun" - Sometimes, the radio will stop playing and all of a sudden it starts with a "stutter" or "machine gun" sound where it just keeps repeating noise (or sometimes it just goes slient). The only thing that seems to remediate it, is to shut the vehicle off and start it again. Also sometimes, if I hit the NAV AUDIO button (when the radio goes silent), you can hear the radio again, but it is very loud, and only lasts for a few seconds. Anyone experience this or is there a TSB on it?

Thanks in advance!

I am not sure about the radio, but for the tailgate rattle its a pretty quick and easy fix. I found a thread where a forum member applied the soft side of velcro to the plastic housing where the latch sits. For some reason, when the tailgate is latched, it rattles around in there. I would be willing to bet if you pop open your tailgate, you'll be able to see where this has been rubbing. I just did this to mine and it is silent now.
