Rattle is driving me crazy!!
Ok i posted about this a couple months ago and never got a great answer. When i start my car (01 ws6) a rattle comes from the back end but is definitely not from under the car. Sounds like the wing area possibly. For sure top side of the back. Cant hear it from outside the car only inside. One day its really bad the next its so so. Any ideas

I had a real bad squeaking noise "I thought" it was where my t-tops sat
But it ended up being my car jack rubbing something in there so I took it out no more squeaking, hopefully that will help you out.

something to check with car engine off, go to rear of car and push rear car side to side and then bumper up and down. see if rattles or squeeks is still there. Will be a way isolate exhaust or suspension.

Check your taillight. I had one there that drove me nuts till I found it. Look for rub marks when you take it out. If that's it then put a piece of foam under it and that will fix it.

The first thing I would try especially if you have an aftermarket exhaust is the passenger side hanger near the back trunk. The rubber gets worn and you get a very slight medal to medal grind.
I recently grinded the medal down but my rubber bushing is almost gone so I bought the walker 35648 hanger. I'm going to try this on my car people say it works on 98 and later but actual part number claims it wont, shall see on my 02 ws6.
Here is another post on this hanger problem...>

More than likely you wont reenact that sound by just shaking the back of your car if it is the exhaust. The grind is usually caused by the vibration of the exhaust flowing through.
Another thing you can try is removing the spoiler (pull the plastic and unbolt with 10mm), check for anything loose maybe if your not original owner glass was replaced and theres a piece or two inside the trunk or the rubber o rings holding the spoiler down are worn.
