That's quite a list
I enjoyed reading those... you're pretty dedicated to making your ar the quiet stealth Q-ship that it appears to be. I too have a rear hatch rattle that occurs only when one side of the car hits a bump and I guess torques the frame a bit. Either that or the whole chassis is about to separate from the wheels. Maybe some gorilla glue 'll fix it.
