Silence! Whats the cure for tailgate rattle?

I've got my doors nice and tights and quite, now I'd like to silence the tailgate...kinda sounds like a huge truck coming down the road. Bumpy roads? forget it!
Anyone got any tips? I am pretty sure most or all the rattle comes from the side parts(name?) that support the tailgate(not chains but for some reason I'm brain is not working right now). I thought about covering them with some flexible shrink wrap of some sort but maybe you've got the answer.
Did they shake and rattle when new?
