Press the D button with a square around it . It's located next to the heated
rear window button... just kidding. Some of the older XJ Cherokees has noisy
hatch trim... the common fix was to replace the fasteners or screw it in
place. This was simple because the XJ hatch used to be fibreglass... not
sure on a '97 GC though.

Chad Went did pass the time by typing:

Turn down the speaker volume? :)
Look on the left and right sides of the hatch, just above
where the lamp cutouts are. There are some rubber bumpers
that can be adjusted in/out. Also check every screw, the panel
tends to loosen with time.

First you figure out where it is rattling. At the hinges [doubtful],
one of the struts [also doubtful], or inside [more likely].
To get into the thing, you'll need a factory service manual
[don't waste money on Chilton] and a few torx drivers.

Now that Spirit Rover has confirmed the presence of weapons of
mass destruction on Mars, we are preparing to invade...
