Going over bumps on the road causes a rattle near the rear glass behind the rear seats. I have sunshades so when the sunshades are down, the rattle occurs but when it is up, it seems to be gone. Anyone have a similar issue? Or is it something else that is rattling?

Mine has developed a rattle from the back somewhere. I don't have sunshades. I've tried wiggling everything, removing the headrests, buckling the seatbelts, lowering the centre arm rest, all to no avail. I need to get somebody to sit in the back whilst I drive to try and pinpoint it for me...

I had a constant creak and rattle that was eventually solved by the dealr pulling out the back seats, laying down foam padding and then putting the seats back on. Killed the rattle dead 4 months ago, but it came back a couple of weeks ago (after hauling 3 guys in the back seat for extended drives over a week). Check this:

Russ, I had this and it was the parcel shelf - made a sort of clicking sound rather than a rattle.
