Rear seat rattle FIX!!!

Finally found the rear seat rattle, it was the deck stop light. Added some home depot weather stripping under 5 bucks. And those aweful creaking and rattle nosies are gone...

Time passes, but some things stay the same. This was the fix I used on the deck-mounted brake light on my 2004 SL, which clattered against the rear window.

2016 does not touch the window. But it was touching the plastic base. Funny how nissan never learned from its design mistakes.

I would also like to see pictures of this fix. These plastic sounding noises in the cabin are driving me nuts.

Just bumping this thread in case anyone has a fix with instructions they've done. I really hate this rattle.

Remove the 3rd brake light and secure and or wrap the wire/plug. It's pretty evident what rattles and moves around when you pop the light out. I noticed right away when I swapped my 3rd brake light out in favor of the "rear parcel shelf cover."
