Noise from spoiler?

Ever since I got my '20 GT53 last yr, there has been a rattle sound when coming to a stop or when turning at slow speeds. It sounds just like a loose nut or bolt in the trunk.

The dealer says it has to do with the rear spoiler. They say it's a somewhat known issue but without a bulletin on how to resolve.

Is anyone else experiencing this too?

Mine only makes sound when moving. Sometimes it gets stuck in the up position though. It fixes itself after a restart.

Interesting. Mine makes the rattle sound when the spoiler is down. In fact I'm just going on what the dealer says by saying the noise is actually coming from the spoiler.

To me, it seems like it's something loose in the trunk. Oh well.

Yes, my '20 GT53 does that too when the spoiler is coming down automatically. Interestingly there is no noise when moving the spoiler manually. My dealer said the noise is "normal".... It's so annoying!
