Default Rattle(s) in rear of '08 Sport XT

My '08 XT was purchased early in Sep '07 and it too came with a rattle in the right-rear of the interior (at no extra charge). I guessed that the rattle was coming from the passenger-side end of the privacy cover bar anchor point. To test my theory, I looped a bungie cord over the bar and secured both ends to the metal cargo loop directly under the bar. That seemed to cure that rattle. The other noise I get is from the cargo floor lid and/or parcel tray going "blam" whenever I go over anything larger than a small bump. I would have thought that Subaru would have worked out these details in a 10+ year old platform. This is the first new car I've purchased that I had to use a bungie cord to keep something from rattling.
