can we see some pics please

What's wrong with the first pic I posted? lol:D :nanana:

yeah it's kind of hard to see but yeah the point is, the noise is coming from the tailgate.

Finally my thread is getting some attention!:2thumbs:

there is nothing wrong with ur post. but i want to see a pic with the dynamat installed so that i can do the same
:popcorn:

Me too, I want to see some pic how you guys installed. :popcorn:

Any updates guys ? I wanna see the dynamat installed pics ??:dunno:

My update. The fix worked but then I ran into an issue.

The Dynamat started to ooze out the ends and that caused the tailgate (plastic) pieces to stick together. So -- two months ago it came out and we cleaned the tailgate.

The clank sound has returned. Not sure if the person who originally figured this out installed the Dynamat in a different way.

Man, again, awesome information.

I didn't know everyone had that problem, I tried everything - well almost. I dont think I would have thought about the plastic flap.

thanks again.

I have been wondering why the rear end making some kind of noise when I driving slowly. May be that is the cause of the problem.

Thanks.

My X5 is at the dealer for Maintenance and warranty issues and the creaking rattling from tailgate is one of the warranty issues. It will be interesting to see if they found the source and what they did to resolve.

X5 back from Dealer today and here are the details on the rear hatch rattle fix:

Adjusted rear hatch. Adjusted Tailgate Catch. Additional noise heard from C Pillar Area. Pertains to SIB 51 09 09 Removed and installed both left and right Quarter Vent Trim. Applied Felt Tape along contact points as needed. Rattle noises heard eliminated at this time.

Hope this helps others with the Rear Hatch Rattling noise getting it fixed under warranty.
