The latches that attach to the bed adjust. Just did mine the other day. 13mm socket I think.

The latches are adjustable...i adjusted mine then put a wrap of gorrila tape on the contact area.

Mine is already adjusted as far as it can go, and still rattles. I'm going to try duct tape first, but then maybe a piece of fuel hose around the catch bar..

Maybe try adjusting the latch the other way. Mine would adjust far enough that my bed wouldn’t latch so I adjusted it to where a had to put a little umph to get the bed to latch and now it doesn’t rattle at all.

If I adjust it the other way, it'll just have more slack.

Ok, that is weird, mine would adjust so much that the bed wouldn’t latch

I'll look again tonight, but both sides are adjusted as far as they can go.. I was thinking about taking them off & grinding the hole a bit further. Hell... maybe I'm lookin at it backwards. I'll check.

Adjust the latch tight and grease the latch, same thing for the doors.

Adjusting the latches on mine solved the problem, but if that didn’t work these things were the next thing I was going to try. I was going to stick them towards the front of the bed where it rests against the frame.

I like your answer to the too-short bed cables. Might have to copy that idea!
