2016 Model still rattle on the rear deck ?

So I picked a BRZ (kind premium with keyless entry and heat seat etc) manufactured in Gunma this June,


Since the first day , I noticed a rattle sound from rear, to describe it exactly,
It sounds like a old computer mouse clicking, but really a bad quality mouse.
It is irrelevant with the speed, under the following circumstances I can hear this rattle.
1.Small bump,
2.More noticieable when bumping the driver's side wheel, so from high to low chance of rattle : driver side front wheel >driver side rear wheel > passenger side rear wheel > passenger side front wheel.
3.It has a high chance to happen when cornering left even without bump

Now what I have done by searched from the forum

1. Lithium Grease in the two rear seat latch.
2. An ear sponge in a whole in the trunk.
3. Bent a small aluminium in the trunk, which should linked to a receiver.

All these do not resolved the rattles..
It's kind of a needle on the back, which really irks me.
I will probably take the car to the dealer next Tuesday but I highly doubt if they know how to resolve this, as what I count this dealer only sell around 3-4 BRZ each month.

I'm also surprised after almost 3 years of production, the rattles still existing..

Please help...


update: finally yesterday I went to the dealer, they pinpointed the rattle zone is on the roof near the C frame.. The technician did fix with a flat screw ..
And the rattle gone, temporarily... And today it still be come to rattle slightly sometimes..
