Another rear rattle fix...
The felt pad fix seems to be a popular alternative but was pickin up a few items at hardware store today and came accross some clear disk bumpers...they're thick so i thought to give it a shot. I attached it to the area on the liftgate (rear hatch/door) but, first, cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol...It works like a charm! I'll take a pic of the mod when i get a chance. Here's what they look like...

LOL! That is greaT! I did this mod about two months back! A bit more solid than the felt. The felt wares out and the rattle comes back. These seem to stay solid!

How would you add 37 and 38 to the existing hardware on the car?

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Did they fix this flawed with the updated design for the E70?
