Rattle - help!
There is a rattle in the back of my 07 jk unlimited that I cannot seem to find. It only rattles on rough roads. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could be?

Man...this sounds like one of those...rough road rattles. You know..the kind of rattle you really only get on rough roads...
That is unless theres a Rattler in the back of your Jeep and everytime you hit a bump you piss it off...
Or it could be something else...where's it coming from? Any idea? Front? Back? Left side? Right side?

It's in the back gate near the hinges. I just went out and put a piece of cardboard in between where the rubber meets the gate right under the windshield and its not making the rattle anymore.

I had the same problem. I sounded like a rattle, but was really the gasket coming in contact with the metal gate. So, I used silicone on the window gasket, and that helped. Then I tightened the door and added the soft side of Velcro strips to each side of the door where the outer door edges touch the window gasket (the original was only a small felt patch that rubbed off) to apply more pressure. So far, no recurring rattle or squeak. Hope this helps.
