While diagnosing this from the backseat while my wife drove, I also noticed what appeared to be excessive road noise coming from the trunk.

Is that a common issue with these things?
I saw your other post where you taped the u joints on the sides of the tailgate but this picture above is where I seem to be having a problem. Mine is loose as well and can be moved by grabbing it with your finger. Did you ever figure out anyway to get this from moving and making noise?
