Exclamation Should I Double Fatmat?

Hey everyone, I have already fatmated my whole trunk, top and bottom, one time as well as under my rear deck. The rear deck rattle is gone thankfully, but my trunk lid rattles like crazy. There is only one layer on the trunk lid and I have already tightened the latch thing to hold the trunk lid down tighter, as well as brought the rubber spacers on the trunk out, to make the tightest possible seal. This didn't help at all, and I fixed my license plate rattle so thats not whats causing it. My bumper also rattles even when I have a layer of fatmat on the bottom of my trunk. Now if I do a double layer of fatmat, will that make a big difference and stop the rattles? Also, the light bulbs in my rear taillights tend to rattle also, even though they are turned in as tight as they will go. Is there anyway to fix this as well? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Did you check to see if the two black metal bars are not touching each other. Mine were touching because the plastic bracket broke causing all my trunk rattles. Also fyi, Fatmats generally don't provide rattle fixes whatsoever, they only make for rich sounds. Most show cars go through rigorous gutting if door panels and anything that can be unscrewed to be tightened, poadded, welded, etc.
