Q: Small vibrating/rattling noise from rear boot

asked by on December 02, 2017

There seems to be a vibrating noise from the rear boot at the top part. At first I thought maybe the rear spoiler was the cause so i just tighten it both nuts at either ends but examine and heard closely and it seems to be coming from the top part trim/panel of the rear boot since everytime i pressed against it the sound disappears. What could be it and how should i stop it. Its very annoying
