1) The rear part of the headliner, where there is an anchor point with roof the car, there constantly is a rattle at various speeds. I think it has some thing do with the actual anchor hitting the roof of the car when i go over bumps

2) This is where i think the noise is really coming from: the rear right airbag. I removed the plastic cover for the rear airbag and gently tapped the rolled up bag. When i tapped the bag, I could hear the annoying vibration noise that has been driving me mad. I put a tiny piece of cloth around one of the metal hooks that attach the airbag to the steel chassis to dampen the noise. I put everything back together and the noise seems to be gone!

If people have been having issues with this rear deck noise and the tricks in the thread do not seem to work, I would suggest looking at the rear passenger side airbag.

Pisses me off too... I just turn the radio up... lol... but thats not the fix for it. I'm not pulling shit apart either, I'm going to go to the dealership I got it from, and take my sales guy for a ride and let him hear it... then I'm going to give him a print out of this forum and then let them fix it... I shouldn't have to do ANYTHING when I just bought the car with 6700 miles on it.
