the little black rubber stoppers on the corners of the lid, unscrew those a little bit... should add some more pressure... i have to slam my trunk hard to close it, but i have little to no rattle on my lid even though my speakers are firing upwards...

Dynamat, and tightening the latch should fix it, but keep in mind everything has a natural resonant frequency. I have eliminated my rattle, but I still get vibration. I am not smart enough nor do I have the time to combat physics.
