The ONLY rattle coming from my car is outside, and outside, i found that in the back tail gate (hatchback), that part where the licence plate is, is the rattle. Now, it's not exactly that plastic peace, it's the FREAKING LICENCE PLATE LIGHTS. I just barely put any pressure on the light fixture (above licence plate) and all the rattling stops. HOW IN THE WORLD DO I GET IN THERE?????????

MY WAY OF FIXING SOME ANNOYING RATTLES:

Ok first you need to go to home depot or somewhere and get door foam insulation. It basically a long strip of foam with a sticky side. To do it right take out ALL or most of your interior plastic pieces. Now when you put them back in put a piece of the foam whereever they touch or clip together. You can also put the foam where it touches the car as well (i.e.: the big plastic piece that clips to the hatch sometimes vibrates against the hatch so you could put foam under that). You can also put the foam on the back of you lic plate around the edge and in the center a little. And bend or arch your lic plate when you put it back on, this puts pressure against the foam and stops the rattling. This won't fix everything but its a quick fix for MOST of the rattling we have. Just a little info that helped me so i figured i'd share.
