Crap............rattle/clunking is still there. Guess it wasn't the misaligned tailgate. Of course my SA told me the tech never heard the sound, which boggles my mind. Guess it will have to go back for further analysis to figure out what's causing it and what the fix is.
i was told the same, have you not seen my photos of the temp fix?? It was the latch on the trunk. Just pack it out, stopped straight away.

Please see my previous answers about what the problem was. It is the latch rattling around. Still waiting for the dealer to sort, but packing out the latch has saved my sanity in the short term

Guys,I think there's a great chance the solutions described by both @ppcarter1 and @Jetced be related.When the 2 so called “distance holders”/regulators are extended won't allow the locking latch mechanism become loose, hence the rattle noise.When the hole trunk door locking is stiffened extending the 2 regulators the rattle stops.By wrapping the latch you get exactly to the same point
Seems quite logical to me. 😉

Do you have to pack it like that every time you open and close the tailgate or does the wrap somehow stay in place?

My trunk lid was rattling also. I unscrewed the black stoppers as far as they would go without falling out on both sides. This solved my rattle.
