tf: Unusual to trade in a new Vette. Were you dissatisfied with it? Please tell us how it compares to the TT.

Use enough layers that the hatch will barely close and latch. (if that makes it hard to open you may need to press down on it while unlatching)
I tried some other solutions and have ruled out the hatch as the source of the noise. I am going to look at the spare tire compartment this weekend to try to see if that is it.

I had it at the dealer on Tuesday. Of course, they said it is all operating normally but the shop foreman drove with me and heard the same noise I have. Very frustrating.

Took everything out of the spare tire area. Still making this noise. Think I have narrowed it down to suspension.

Seems the guys in the UK are getting their cars fixed fairly easily now:

Thanks Can_Quattro. Anyone else had this done in the US? Wonder what kind of fight I am up against with the dealer as it seems there is a recall/TSB for UK but I can't find one for US, yet.

Just picked mine up today and noticed the thump immediately. I read about the UK bushing fix. Is there a TSB in the US yet?

Not that I could find. I am at dealer again on Monday for suspension inspection. Will give an update on Monday night.

fwiw I have none of the thump/clunk anomalies cited here and elsewhere. Being a factory just-in-time vendor supply system I wonder if some under spec'd parts crept into the supply chain (my build 08 Oct 15)?

The thump seems to have returned in my TTS. I wonder if it's temperature related, since it's been near zero °F or below for a few days now.

I have noticed it is worse in the AM than the PM - so maybe there is something to that. I am in SoCal though, so cold is a relative term (high 40s).
