Default Rattle in the back

Any of you convertible owners notice a rattle in the back. The sound comes from the gas tank area or the trunk.
Also how does your ride handles in regular roads, does the back of the car shakes as speed increases?

Thanks!

Tape up the emergency release handle for the trunk. It comes loose and rattles!

Thanks for the tip but it is definitely not the emergency release handle. I t is more like the rear suspension. I’m taking it to the dealer because the rear of my car is shaking too much. Maybe its just a convertible thing but I just want to make sure.

Potro...

does it rattle Roof UP.. Roof Down.. or all the time.

Mine rattles/squeeks if I don't get out and give my top a little tuck push after lowering it.

Have you lowered the back seats previously? I did and had a rattle for some time until I realized that locking the seats back in place is not as easy as putting them up. Try that first.

As for the shaking, that wouldn't be b/c of the seats.
