Okay now this is kind of weird. Since I bought the car back in 06' there has been a noise from the trunk area. The people that had the car before me where avid golf players and one day a ball came up missing. Long story short when I take a sharp corner you hear it roll from one side of the car to the other. I CAN NOT FIND THE DAMNNNNN THING!!!!!! It's beginning to really get to me. Any idea where I might look to find this phantom ball. I have checked the spare tire area and nothing is there. Where else????? And sorry didn't really know where to post this.
 
Haha, I know who annoying that is. When I bought my car I found 5 sockets, 3/8" wrench, chains, and half a pine tree in my spare well. Take all three of the trunk plastic panels out and look behind them. That's where I found a few of the sockets at. Also, make sure you check underneath the washer fluid reservoir.
 
This reminds me of the time my Dad told me back when he was in Nashville for NADC, they put a glass bottle with a note that read "I bet it took you a hell of a long time to find this" inside a chrome bumper so that it could roll around.
 
Also check the area right behind the rear seats. Those holes look like a golf ball could fit through.

Hahah thats awesome
 
Haha I have screws loose somewhere in my hatch. I can hear them rolling when I lift the gate up. Defintely check the area there. I found a couple of interesting things in the tire wheel well also when I went to clean it out.
 
When i bought my car it had altezzas so i took them off and dropped one bolt down the middle there and it is inbetween two layers of metal cant find it, Dont think i ever will. You might have the same problem not sure if a golf ball could fit off the top of my head.
 
Go to a safe area, have one of your buds sit in the back (trunk) area and have them try to find it. That's how i find all of my annoying ass noises.
