Rattle in rear of car!

[john87]

For the past month or so I've been getting quite a pronounced rattle coming from the rear of the car..most definitely caused by something in the interior  it sounds just like the parcel shelf moving or something in the armrest rattling about, however it isn't being caused by either of these sources...

I can hear it particularly when driving over rough/potholed roads and when turning off the engine, and I'm 95% sure its something in the back but can't think what!

Has anyone else had this?

I have had 2 rattles comming from the back:

Ski hatch - was replaced under warranty. Didn't rattle when open so worth a try.

Rear seat backs - If I put my left seat back upright (after folding down) but not latched I get a rattle!
I have read on here that when latched, sometimes the rear seats rattle. I think the solution is to wrap electrical tape round the bar where the latch engages.

Thanks very much, I shall give this a try!
