This is NOT the first car that has this problem. No one found the cause yet. Some said it is the seat beat rail (which I think it is). Some said inside the rear door.

Any rattle in the car travels. So it may not be at the back. Sometime the e-Tag (the one on the windscreen for Melbournians' City Link) is rattling. Sometimes even the sunnies in the top compartment makes loud rattles.

Bottom lines: can be anywhere. Even the coin box

take it back to the dealer and this time don't leave until it is fixed....take a copy of Back in Black or the 1812 Overture with you.

If it doesn't rattle when the cannons go off, it's fixed.

Go "music guru" mez.

I also seem to have a slight rattle from within the drivers side door around the level of the door handle.Seems to be noticable only when driving on rougher roads.
Anyone else with this problem?
