Reflector Fix
The rear long narrow reflectors on the top edge of the tail gate have been known to bow over time. Mine did and were causing rattles as they rubbed against the top tail hatch. I tried double stick foam tape, it didn't work. I removed the reflectors, placed them in the oven at about 200 degrees F for about 20 minutes. I then removed them, bent them perfectly straight, and "set" them with cold water, this worked great and saved me $30 for new ones.

Great idea!

I put a drop of crazy glue at the mid point of the reflector for the bow. As for the rattle I back out the stoppers on both side for a turn or 2. It may / may not work for u but that's my solution.

When I repaired the reflectors, the rattle stopped. The reflectors hide some screws to open the tail gate for repair, if they were glued, it may get ugly to remove them.

What I refer to is just a single drop of crazy glue (less work involved). You can easily pop it loose in the future if needed. Just my 2 cents.
