do you have 2 or four screws holding the liscense plate frame in tact?? you might check and see if you can move the bottom of the frame with your fingers..if so, super glue some foam behind the frame. i did it and it worked awesome!

With the tailgate open, look at the side edges of it, you'll find a black wedge on each side which engages with another one on the body. One side is a hard plastic, whilst the other is a sort of high density rubber. If these are badly worn they can allow some lateral movement on the tailgate when closed which can cause a rattle in the latch.

FYI. My '00 rattles form the rear passenger side cargo compartment. I originally thought this was a lift back hatch rattle but determined it was the plastic door.
