Been battling a rattle in the tailgate for quite sometime. Found this forum and thought I'd give the electrical tape a try. Guess what? No more rattle. Had my car scheduled at the dealer in a couple of days but now can cancel. Thanks to all you folks for your advice.

If it wears and starts rattling, move the latch instead of taping for permanence. I think my wife’s car I moved it instead of taping but I’ve taped multiple cars and some wear out quickly and some don’t.

Get a starburst wrench and just shift the clasp back.

@Robotazky

I would try a very viscous grease shoved in between those various spacers, bushings, and brackets.
