Default something sliding around in the trunk. what could it be?

there's something sliding around in my ap2. it sounds like it's coming from the back in the trunk area. i've removed everything i could: spare tire, tools, tool tray. the trunk looks completely empty to me but there's still something sliding around everytime i brake, accelerate, or turn.

does anybody know of any common things that might be loose and sliding around? or any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

thanks everybody!

When you half fold the soft top down, check to see if there is anything in there. That open space where the top goes, anything can fall down into it.

lol this happened to me. For like a month something was rattling around in there and it drove me insane cause I couldn't figure out what it was. It ended up being a damn stick in the top tray.

your dealer forgot to take their lojack out.

they leave the gps device in the trunk.

if you just got your car, this could def be a possibility.

Is it a small clatter? Has your softtop been changed? sometimes they leave the rivets in the ribs and that makes noise.

Did you have anybody work on it lately?

When I took mine in for some recalls. The guy that worked on my car left a socket extension inside the panel next to the seat towards the passenger door. I was so annoyed by it for a couple days then decided to take my whole interior apart and to my surprise I found it stuck under a very tight space. Had to get my little 10 year old sister to pull it out. Lol
