Jason that rearview mirror isn't going to stop that no matter what. You will just have to get use to it sorry. I don't know what to tell you about the rear speakers Glass or Johnathan should beable to help you with that. And you should Invest in dynamat that will stop most if not ALL the other vibrations. Good Luck

not sure if this helps but...one of my friends fixed his rattling rear panel by simply screwing an extra screw or two through it. Not sure exactly where he put it, but it fixed his Corrolla.
The rear speaker situation doesnt sound very good (no pun intended!)...see about screwing in the speakers there too i suppose.

oh and if all else fails...turn down the volume :D ok just kidding...good luck on your rattling. sorry i wasnt much help, but try screws or super glue.

1. How is your rearview mirror attached? There aren't many things you can do there, maybe get a new one that hasn't loosened up over time, but it will always vibrate a little.
2. For the rear speakers, you'll need to enclose them so that they won't be affected. Not too many options there, either.
3. For the rear panel, you'll need Dynamat, Fatmat, or some similar sound deadening to deaden the panel. Make sure to concentrate on areas like where the third brake light bolts to the panel, put some Dynamat to separate the plastic light casing from the metal of the rear panel, also any other mounting points such as the speakers, etc. need Dynamat under them as well.

For the rear speakers just use a baffle. As for the rear view mirror just use some rope caulk around the parts that vibrate. It looks like crap but hey it works. You could always use duct tape too. lol! If you can't duct it F*ck it!

When I said enclosing it, I meant some sort of speaker box.

i had the same problems with my rear speakers and i just took them out. to me, unless your 6x9s in the back are aftermarket, their not going to make much of a difference in bass or treble against your subs. also, depending on your how your car is made, removing them will leave ports so your subs should sound alot better and a little louder.
