tailgate rattle

I've tried driving with the shelf and the boot space cover removed to eliminate these. Its as if the tailgate isn't closed with the odd rubber squeak thrown in as if the tailgate was moving or twisting, Its definitely the tailgate where the noise is. The only roads it doesn't rattle on are on the better smooth motorway roads which I rarely use. Also the courtesy car they gave me, exact same model as mine but 16 plate instead if 15 plate doesn't rattle on exactly the same roads. Car has been in since wed last. Its been all around the garage and they agree about the noise but cant seem to cure it, once you get fixated on something it starts to become a lot bigger issue to you.
Cheers
