Please help me figure out this rattle!

[tcd2004]

I have tried multiple times to get rid of a rattle I am experiencing that is coming from around the back passenger side of my car. It sounds like the back windshield is rattling against something. It used to be sporadic but now it pretty much happens all the time and it is really starting to drive me nuts. I took off the back passenger airbag cover (i dont know what else to call it) and put a piece of plastic tubing between that and the glass thinking it would help....needless to say it didnt. What else could be rattling in that part of the car? A while back i took off the rear deck and put air conditioner foam under the entire thing which also didnt help. I was washing my car the other day with the music on and if i put my ear against the rear quarter panel and could hear a rattle, that then got me thinking that it was coming from the trunk area but i got to thinking and it seems like the rattle is way to loud inside the cabin for it to be resonating from the trunk. Pleaseeeee give me any ideas you have as i don't have any time to take it to the dealer right now. I drive a FA5 btw.

On a side note...how do you get the clips out of the "Carpet" in the trunk? They look like straight slot heads but it just spins and spins...

i dontknow about the rattle... but for the clips. you have to barely push on them. its like you have to spin, without putting any pressure on them. then they should come out enough to use your fingers. they are weird
