No dents on my tailgate. I learned the lesson on closing from a Sorento my wife used to drive. Same problem if you pushed it closed in the middle of the tailgate. Newer and cheaper metal certainly dents easier.

I cut 2 small pieces of vacuum line (1/8" long) & put one on each lower lic bolt end, touching the body.. No more Rattle..
