Vibrating/Buzzing Driving Me Crazy! Help Me find It!

Open the hatch and usually the offending panel will be the one closest to the roof. So what you do is have a look at the join in the panels

Open the hatch and usually the offending panel will be the one closest to the roof. So what you do is have a look at the join in the panels and you will see it has tabs that lock into the plastic trim next to it. So all you do is push the panel so the tabs come out of the other trim piece and then pull it away from the roof its got locking clips all the way along but they pull out very easily. You will see what I mean as you take the trim off. Then basically have a look at where the trim can touch any part of the car that would make it rattle and put double sided tape behind. Then reattach the panel and you should have a rattle free car

Where are you guys putting the double sided tape?
I took the hatch plastic apart today and it seems like it's only a thin edge of plastic contacting the metal of the hatch. I insulated and taped down the wires for the rear defroster hoping that was it, but fail again.

Pictures would really help!

Default Rattle Fixed

I have a Chicane Yellow 2009 370Z, and I just wanted to add one rattle that my dealer fixed. I had a metal on metal rattle noise coming from behind the passenger seat above 25 mph. I tried to locate the origen of the noise myself with no luck.

I took it to my dealer and they kept it for a several days. They found that the rattling noise was coming from the passenger seat-belt assembly. It was replaced and the rattle is fixed. I am so thankful. Nothing drives me more nuts than a $40,000 rattle trap. I do love this car.
