Default Rattling in the trunk?

when i drive i hear a rattling sound that seems to come from the trunk area? and I cant figure out what it is... keep in mind i have 19"rims with low pro tires on a lowered XB so the ride is a lil stiffer than most, but still there has to be something im not seeing? Maybe the lil hooks that the cargo net goes onto or something? Is this commin?

I would check the tire iron in the spare tire compartment. Also if you have a rear wiper, that might be causing it. Take everything out of the back, including everything in your little storage compartment, then have someone sit in the back as you drive down the road... you'll figure it out.

Check to see if the back seats are locked into position.

Check the metal latches that hold down the lids in back. On mine they had to much clearance and would allow the lids to bounce/rattle.

My $10 says it's the wiper assembly inside the rear hatch. You can resolve this in a couple of ways.
1. Remove the sucker! I don't know about you, but I've never used mine. Removing the rear wiper and assembly is fairly easy and the hole left is ideal for a rear-view camera!
2. Sound Deadening... Dynamat, eDead, Raamat, BQuiet, etc.... which ever you choose, will make a HUGE difference in the reduction of rattles and road noise as well as significantly improve the sound of your stereo.

My recommendation... Do BOTH!!!

Hey Miles, that's not a bad idea! Then I can put a rear view camera there! :D
