4Runner - 1986 - Cargo area noise. Tailgate?

[johnny4ever]

I have exhausted my ideas for the origin of a squeeky rattle from the back interior of 86 4runner.

Make it stop.....

Take some video with sound.
My rattle comes from the cargo tray/back seat area and is usually a loose bracket on the roll cage.
maybe the exhaust or spare tire bouncing around?

It could be tailgate. There are a pair of plastic pieces that keep the hinges from rattling. They tend to break.

Just installed rubber washers on the tailgate supports that were loose. Still have rattle. Gonna look for loose brackets on the roll bar.

Can you have someone drive it down a bumpy road while you sit way in the back and push on stuff until the rattle quits?

 

[johnny4ever]

Rattles with window up but not down.

Loose connector inside the tailgate?

FOUND IT.

The passenger side rear window track has come away from the interior wall(side) of tailgate.

Thoughts?
Was it originally welded in place? I find no mounting bolt hole etc.

If it's the side sliding window it's held in with butyl tape.

Sorry my description was tarded.

The rear window that is inside the tailgate. Its passenger side track.
