Rattle Hunt
I'm on a mission to fix rattles in the car ( yes I know, Impossible). I fixed the deck and door rattle. The trunk doesnt rattle terribly, but underneath the trunk it sounds like metal rattling which I'm yet to find. any ideas?
I don't think it's any part of the exhaust because i moved it around a bit and somethings still there.

drag210- My rattle was specific to the door handle itsself not the whole door.
I took my door panel off, peeled back the plastic sheeting, and tightened the nuts for the handle on inside of the door.

Found the spare tire assembly rattle. I ducttaped, cardboarded, and hot glued the s*** out of the base of it. Thank god its finally gone.
In the process i found this in the bottom of the spare wheel well, half of which was not mine.

Haven't heard any other major rattles since
Heres a list of what I found and how i fixed them:
loose door handle - removed door panel and tightened
rear deck - shoved cardboard between deck and window
misc. screws - removed
spare tire assembly - hot glue/ducttape/cardboard the base of the assembly
