Default Rattling in rear...

So this morning on my daily commute I noticed what sounded like the crackling of a blown out speaker in the rear of my car. But it stopped whenever I wasn't moving. So i looked into it when I got to the parking lot and i believe it's the plastic that's in front of the rear window rattling against the window. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem. But how would you recommend fixing it?

By "in front of the rear window" do you mean inside the car, or outside (which technically is in back of the rear window)?

I ask because when I got my '03 a good portion of the exterior trim strip at the lower edge of the rear window was loose and flapping about a bit--just clean it well, let it dry, and use urethane adhesive (make sure it says adhesive, or adhesive/sealant, not just sealant) to glue it back down. Mine has been fine for 4-1/2 years/75k miles now

Same fix perhaps--glue it down, or maybe use some of the 3M gray double-sided tape.

All modern cars are ***** of plastic inside (and outside too), that all gets brittle and falls apart in 12-15 years especially on cars that are not garaged...
