Alright, I will do that. Do you just do one screw? or Both?
I ended up putting that double sided foam tape between the plastic piece and the trunk at the top, and some soft foam weather stripping at the bottom where they meet. As well as silicon/epoxied the white clips for the screws that hold that piece on, and got 4 new license plate screws and epoxied their brackets as well.
I have to say, that all really helped a ton. Still waiting on my license plate kit so I can secure everything down better, and giving the epoxy time to settle all the way. I still get a little jingle from the trunk latch/license plate light, but you have to be right by the car to hear that, and that doesn't bother me. I also have that one rattle that comes from the empty space of the trunk where it meets the center of the rear window, if dynamat doesn't cure that, then I will find another solution.
Thank you all so much for the good advice, it really helped a lot!!!!
