Anyway, that's all I can think of, good luck man ...

Yes I sprayed two times between the rubber strip and roof using the red straw. In fact, the excess WD40 started running down the sides and collected in the groove around the trunk. I'm sure I'll figure it out someday. In the meantime, I'll just listen to the radio when I drive . Thanks again for all the support.

Tell me about it. I'm starting to believe in the philosophy that if you can't stop a sound, drown it out!

[sti2relaxxin]

Somewhere in my readings I found that the top center of the backseat sometimes causes the rattling sound to occur. If you open the pass-through and put your fingers up behind the fabric at the top of the pass through opening, you can feel/ see a metal u shape that the seat holds onto. I shoved a small piece of wood in there before I sprayed my window with wd-40 just to make sure it wasn't that. I recommend wedging something in there to see if that stops the rattle. Good luck!

I have mushed a pice of paper between the cover and the a-pillar which has reduced it but not elimitate it...

I'll be popping that sucker off and stuffing in a bunch of crap to hopefully solve it...

Loosen the two bolts holding the lower trunk latch and slide it down a little to tighten the trunk assembly up when its closed. Then put just a touch of grease on the latch and your done. I figured this one out after getting my car back from the body shop when I got rear ended. They didn't adjust the latch at all and I had a really bad squeek and every little bump caused the lid to make bad thumping noises. After I tightened it everything was solid and some of the rattles that were there from day one when I bought the car are now gone.

Everyone with rattles and whatnot; please view the thread below!

Can we get a "fix those rattles" thread going? - Interior & Exterior Modification - NASIOC

Good news! My rattle is gone!!! I guess third time was the charm. Before taking it to the dealer, I decided to give WD-40 another shot. This time, I stuck the straw deep inside the rubber weatherstripping and gave it another good run. After that, I took it out for a test drive and the rattle got softer and softer until it disappeared. Right now, I can still hear it sometimes when I'm making a hard right but that doesn't bother me at all. I haven't been this happy with my car ever since I went Stage 1 . Thanks fast08 and everyone who contributed to this thread!

[fast08]

Congrats man, I remember how happy I was the day I got rid of the rattle lol..

So I guess we need to remind people to stick it deep and spray it hard with the WD-40 trick?

[pazu]

Yes WD-40 definitely works!!!!!!!!! Thanks tons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 more rattle from front belt over shoulder and I'm rattle free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emptiness]

how does w40 work to zero the rattle?

[skratch1200s]

Finally, an answer!!!! I thought the rattle meant I was going to have to check my rear lsc . . . thank goodness thanks a bunch to everybody

for those of your what latch issues, take a section of electrical tape and wrap it around the "U" shaped thingy that the latch connects to, it will stop the latch from vibrating and rattling, it wears out after a few months but its cheap and easy to redo once it does. It worked on my wrx wagon hatch latch and my door latches as well.
