Re: Tailgate support rattle

same here, do you at least have the L shaped rubber support grommet on your tailgate?

Re: Tailgate support rattle

well that's a start.....I've been trying to come up with a way to address this myself so hoping other Burb owners chime in with anything they've got that helped. I'll keep you posted if I find any solutions that work.

just don't go down the road.
pins do wear crating more slack, which you may have to tighten up or something has bent a little and is to close to a surface

Re: Tailgate support rattle

Have you considered coating the supports in "plasti-dip"? Seems to me that if you mask off the ends and then coat in plasti-dip it would at least quiet it down if not stop it altogether.
