Default Help...Rear FAB FOURS rattles!!

Anyone have a FabFour rearbumper/carrier? There ar no adjustments to stop rattling. At the latch the swing arm is bottoming out over bumps and the swing carrier rattles against the factory rubber snubbers and is causing the sheetmetal to buckle in and out.
I saw this bumper installed at the dealer and shook it and no rattles but where it rattles can only be duplicated while driving, kinda dissapointed for $1200 investment.
Way annoying!! Any help?? Many thanks.

Wow, sorry to hear about your annoying rattling problem especially since you paid as much as you did. When you saw the bumper at the dealership, did it have a 35" tire on it like you have now?
