Is it possible to adjust the glass where it locks to the rear gate? I've got some rattling that's developed since they installed a new window in mine. |

It looks like the only adjustment that can be done is at the hinge that connects the glass to the lift gate... |

Bolting up a new rear flipper glass shouldn't have changed how tight the glass closes. The side to side and the up and down adjustment will change, but not the depth that the glass goes into the opening when you close it. (does that make sense?) The depth that the glass goes into the opening determines how tightly it closes. Take a look at the glass and make sure that the gap between the glass and the gate is even all the way around. If it's off, you might pick up a rattle there. But, I doubt it. I don't have a KK here. If I remember I'll take a look tomorrow and see if there is an adjustment on the latch that holds the flipper glass. If there is, you should be able to loosen up the latch and slide it forward toward the front of the car. Only move it a millimeter at a time. It doesn't take much. You want the glass to close just tight enough to not rattle. You do not want it so tight that if you hit a bump it explodes. If the flipper glass latch is not adjustable, the only other way to tighten up the glass would be to adjust the swing gate to close tighter. |
