Does anyone's spoiler rattle?

I have had this rattle for a while but I never really had time to fix it. When I close my trunk, the spoiler rattles in the middle by the LED. I really cant think of a way to fix it. It also rattles when I go over roads with a grill surface on them. For example, on bridge surfaces. For those of you who live in New York, an example would be on the upperbound of the Manhattan bridge towards manhattan. Anyone know what I might try?


Thanks
Rosh

I recall someone filling their spoiler with foam so it wouldn't rattle and make noise....forget who it was although it's a great idea.

I unscrewed the screws in the LED and filled them up with foam to make it tigter. But be very careful because that stuff is extremley messey. Oh ya dont use mineral spirits to take it off.

solution to trunk noise

Unscrew the rubber bushings mounts on the trunk lid to adjust
the height of the bushings, I think you have these rubber stoppers screwed in all the way so there is space for the trunklid to vibrate...I had same problem and now fixed...Jason

Didn't NSXNEXT say that his spoiler was filled with polyfill? Mine rattles and feels cheap too. I wasn't sure if it was the spoiler or the trunk.
