Ok. Trunk rattles.
I've located so far 3 things that rattle and can be fixed relatively easy:
- Trunk emergency opener handle
This one is the easiest - it rattles when not fastened. Mine was actually slightly pulled, so snap it back in its holder, and its done
These white plastic clip holders are underneath the foam layer under the trunk liner. Get some sealant and fix it in place, so that they don't move. If you tap on those - you'll hear how much noise they are creating. Unbelievable! On the picture I show only 3 of them - the noisiest, but there are more under foam pieces that hold tools.
Excuse my bad English - there are the plastic panels that cover back window pilars, but they go up into the trunk. The spot where they touch metal - it rattles. So, you should be looking up at the back shelf from inside the trunk. They are clipped, but not fixed. Definitely require deadening.
Looking at the trunk striped from all the foam, I was amazed that it didn't have any soundproofing at all. Just getting the wheel arches done from inside, and part of the trunk floor and back shelf, should improve road noise and eliminate most of the rattles related to wires and plastic touching bare metal. There plastic clips are all over the trunk and they will be coming loose as the car settles over time.
Hope this helps. I'm rattle-free for now, but RAMMAT is on the way
