the rattle on the rear parcel shelf are mainley the wires. between where the clips anchor them down to the rear parcel shelf they vibrate like a sine wave smaking into the metal of the parcel shelf. Fix this buy shoving foam under the wires. When just attack your boot area with a 10mm making sure everything else is tight.

most cars have them comming from the boot lid/hatch so realight the latch so its tighter and peoples number plates allways rattle so screw that tights with 4 screws or put some cushioning behind it
