Get used to the tailgate noises. I have come to the conclusion that they can not be fixed. I had a loud crunching sound from the gate. Dealer fixed it, but now it sounds like the tailgate is loose over bumps. Like its not shut all the way and bangs a little bit. It's an easier noise to live with than the crunching sound, though. The double tailgate design is flawed as far as noise is concerned.
