newbies '05 MC rattling from rear

Hello all....posted at the newbies page, now need to post here for your help, some ideas........did a search on this, but no real answer that helped....car is an 05 MC 5 speed, 47,000 miles, everything stock.
What I have is a constant rattling/rattle in the rear, over bumps or any irregular surfaces....I work at a Honda dealer, and it sounds just like sway bar end-links that have gotten worn/loose.....but these seem tight......everything seems tight as well..........I know I'm missing something, because rattle is obviously still there, and very prevelant...
any ideas ?.......I've never had a rattle so easy to hear, and reproduce [driving] but not be able to find something up in the air, on rack.

Any ideas?...........thanks

Steve

Did you check the rear deck lid latch? Wrap a little electrical tape around the lower latching hook and go for a ride.
