Rear lift gate

Knock on wood! It's been about 2 months of defective tailgates and I think it's finally finally fixed!!! Yipee! Well, anyway, so this morning, I drop the car off at the usual, 8:00am. They were having their X-mas party so they promised it would be done early. At around 12:15p.m. I call and they send a driver to pick me up. I got there at around 12:30pm. My hubby had reminded me to test all the possible scenarios before I left. So I turn the car on using the Automatic Start feature, open the tailgate and it's bliss......... no strange clunk, just a perfect open. I think I'm out of there when I remembered that I was suppose to try to lock the car and open the tailgate, guess what???????????????? The tailgate opens with the car locked, as a matter of fact, the tailgate wouldn't lock at all. I was furious. How could they be so fricken incompitent to not check. Either way, I get a rental which took another 30 minutes to get, which meant that I showed up at work 30 minutes late!
Well anyway, they finally fixed it today around 3:00pm. Supposedly, they had to document everything that happened today because acording to GM, it's been their worse tailgate case yet. Lucky me! Anyway, it's fixed and I think I might just love the HHR again. We'll see if it lasts.

However, it also opens every time. Is this clunk "normal"? I don't particularly like the sound and it doesn't seem quite right. Any ideas?......

Took car into dealer yesterday and they told me nothing was loose. They took the gate apart and said that holding onto the button you use to open it was causing it to trip and make the noise. Not sure if they are blowing smoke up my behind or what. They also said that TSB # I gave them was for addressing the problem when the gate wouldn't open...and since mine was working they couldn't do anything. Told them I'd be back when tailgate won't open and would be none too pleased.
