I have a 2001 9-3 4 door with a hatch that rattles more than I'd like.
Does anyone have any experience getting it to quiet down? While it
closes easily, all it takes is a solid close of one of the rear doors
to make the hatch visibly move up and down a bit. I thought originally
it might be just the cargo cover, but without it installed the noise is
of course even more pronounced.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Does it take a little effort to close the doors? I was told once that this
is normal because this vintage Saabs are very airtight cars. Because of
that, I also always assumed that a little visible movement of the hatch was
normal too.

Thanks,
