Look at the bottom end of the acrylic cover. You will see a small little notch where a small flathead screwdriver will fit. Pop the cover off there. THEN, you will see 3 phillps head screws. Unscrew them. THEN unclip the harness.

I don't think hitting the domelight locally will stop it, but give it a shot. You'd be better off stopping the rattling at the source, the trunklid and rear deck.

Rattlepad from Secondskin also works pretty good.
