I insulated the whole car with Frost king duct insulation from home depot and sprayed the hard to get spots with "Dead Skin" by lightning audio. Also on the panels put foam tape on the seams. I also found the rear spreaker grills rattle, that is the last one I am trying to track down. The liscence plate will rattle and the plastic that surrouds the rear glass, but you have a vert so I don't know about that.

i wish i knew a simple solution.........i'm to lazy to play with it right now. here in a few months though we are gonna build a new shop with a nice big install bay and i'll be able to tear my car down and leave it apart a few days to work on it, so hopefully i'll figure it out then.......... that rear trunk lid is getting old though with all the rattling and i think my rear driver's panel is starting to make noise.........gotta love all this plastic in new cars....
