Tips for eliminating rattles in rear

Remove heat shield above muffler.

The heat shield is held in by (4) 10mm nuts. Remove those and slide heat shield out.



Add padding to rear deck cover

Remove rear deck cover by pulling rear pillar covers out. The pillar is held in by a single panel connector in the middle and a strap on the top. Just pull out enough to lift off rear cover. The rear cover is held in by (5) white panel pins underneath and (2) black ones on outside. Once removed, place more foam or padding to cover all plastic areas. Problem area in my car was at very back of panel near window. Below are pictures of pillar detached and rear panel with no modification.

same here... center dash.
I was looking at the hood this weekend, and the air-guide for the air scope on the hood looks like it's kinda flimsy .I haven't done any investigation with that though

Is this for the rattle you get when you close the trunk...like a tink, tink sound?

Not sure if I ever observed that sound.
