Trunk creaking

Hello guys,

I've had this trunk rattle for over a year now, and simply cannot find how to solve it -which took a hefty toll on my mental health -. Here's what I can tell about it:

-Creaking / clicking noise, that seems to happen over low-intensity road undulations / irregularities, especially over 30mph. Not over bigger bumps.
-Definitely coming from inside the trunk (more present with rear seats down)
-Not linked to the rear seat latch (see above)
-Not an issue with the trunk release or the trunklid seal (can be heard with trunk open)
-Not linked to gas cap release cable (now firmly held in place)
-Not coming from under-trunk accessories (have been double-sided-taped and not moving anymore)
-Not the metal tab thing
-Not the trunk foam clips
-Not this, unless I did not apply enough WD40

Did anyone else experience this? How did you solve it?

Thanks!
Alex
