So much for their 2012 production line fix...

Yeah, my buddy also has a 2/13 build FR-S with similar popping. I took off my rear deck and ordered that Castle lube to DIY this (managed to spray lube in the crevices without bending/hammering the panels). It didn't eliminate the sound. Also found a black electronic box to the right of the third brake light fixture. Gently pressing that reproduces a similar sound, even with the deck cover installed on top of it. My buddy's 2/13 FR-S made the same sound when I pressed his deck cover.
The plastic black box is bolted down via a flimsy mount. Flimsy meaning I could easily snap the box from its mount if I yank on it. The mount is bolted down and when I press down on that hex bolt head, I hear a creak. I've come to accept it as normal and it doesn't bother me anymore lol.
Seems like that TSB was made just to make it look as if Subaru did something about it. BS
