I think the key is to raise it up just enough to make the tailgate firm in its place. I've had mine at around 2mm higher than the wedge base.

I've also put some felt tape around the striker.

I wrapped some tape to the catch and the noise is still there. Mine is not a rattle. It's a soft knocking sound whenever the car runs on uneven road or goes over a bump even slowly.

I think you should get rid of the black protection film on the side step and the rear bumper. They're not functional and don't make it look better.

Clay bar is a must-have. Try it and you'll swear by it. It leaves the surface so slick you want to lick it. I use it to remove road tar and dirt regularly. Don't forget to seal and wax it afterward.
