Not really you just deal with it or strip it. I have a few annoying rattles. I got rid of a cpl then some new ones developed... I have a really loud new one that just started 2 days ago comming from the horn pad / airbag cover thats annoying as hell, but oh well.

Youll never get them all and the stiffer you go the more you get, trust me. Ive RTV'd half of the plastic clips into the panels and they still buzz.

I have a annoying rattle too, sounds like its coming from my instrument cluster, but when I accelerate, it goes away, cruise and it comes back, loose screw?

I'm gonna start throwing duct tape around in the general area of rattles.

just strip your trunk. it sounds better that way anyways. that's what i did. it got rid of a bunch of rattles, but there was still the trunk hatch vibrating.
