Default I have an rattle in the hatchback 3rd Brake Light fixture

It is loose and if any one has a remedy on how to remove it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Use 3m 'velcro' on the plastic and trunk body, to help support the screws. That's what I did to mine.

I actually took the plastic shroud off and found out where mine was making contact with the hatch itself. I then cut some small pieces of double sided foam tape and stuck it to the spots that were tapping on the hatch.

No more rattles.

Hello Zillon
How does the plastic shroud come off, I tried pulling on it, but I am afraid off braking it

After pulling on the cover it came off, I found that the light assembly was held by one screw, the right side was held by a slide in plastic clip (part of Assembly) so I put a small piece of double sided foam and forced the assembly back in place, secured it with the single screw.
No more rattle.
