I've got a rattle from the rear area of my new 16 Tahoe when going over bumps. It's more prevalent at lower speeds. Sounds like it's coming from the back glass area, but not certain. I need to have the wife drive it and let me sit in the 3rd row to see what I can find out. Thought I'd go ahead and ask here before chasing my tail to see if it's a common problem.

Thanks!

I've experienced the same thing, sounds like it's coming from the rear glass. Twice, I couldn't reproduce the noise while at the dealer.
If I open the rear glass and then close it firmly, it will go away for a while.

Could it be the license plate? i had to add all 4 screws to eliminate it from making noise. (dealer only had top 2 put in)

Could be, didn't think about that. I'll get my tag next week and I'll put 4 screws in to be sure.

I replaced the right rear glass and took apart the rear quarter area with the AC compressor in it to vacuum all the broken glass out. Now that it's back together I have a rattle. I guess I missed something putting it all back together.

It could be something was missed during assembly at the factory.

Well this sucks lol. I now have a rattle at low speeds or while coming to a stop. Rattle will go away after being stopped for 2-3 seconds. It also appears its coming from the rear passenger area. Tried opening and closing rear glass, did not help.
