07 TL I fixed my rear speaker rattle, yey!
I just reached 5k miles when that rear speaker rattle kicked in. Drove me nuts, it was the only thing keeping me sane from hearing the rest of the interior rattles.
Went to the dealer just two days ago, they applied wool strips to the back of the grill/air vent behind the woofer. That held over bumps, but when the bass kicked in it didnt work. So I decided to take things into my own matter. I noticed that while the music is playing, if you press the vent behind the speaker down (mine was touching the window at the middle and after the fix still is), rattle goes away. So, thanks to Tempest811, I followd this thread:

Instead of cloth though, i inserted a used popsicle stick wrapped in first aid tape, then shoved it where u see the cloth underneath that grill thingy. Now, no rattle, blasted muzic, bass, everything is well. yey.
Remaining rattles:
1. Outside driver mirror, hitting window or something, gotta have dealer handle this one.
2. Passanger headrest, when raised makes a ticking sound like two pennies being hit together over bumps. Lowered it all the way down, resolved temporary.
3. Center speaker rattle, that's a next DYI.
4. Glovebox squeeking.
I kinda ignored all these rattles by turning the music up all the time. I still need to resolve them though. Either way, I'm excited
