Until I can figure out how to remove the light without breaking it, I have put as much foam insulation around the plastic posts that stick through the metal frame in hopes that it will keep the assembly from moving around. So far, it seems to be working.

The strange thing is that now that the rattle is gone, I remembered why I liked the car. It's sooo nice to drive when it's not rattleing.

Tighten the 10mm nut that is equidistant between the two plastic posts.

I scoured the service manual for probably an hour and couldn't find instructions on how to remove the "stop lamp" for the life of me...but tightening that nut pulls it tighter, that much I know.
