I have had an irritating rattle that came from the back end of my 850 for about 6 months. I have 98K on my 96 850. I have spent about 100 hours looking for this rattle. I have put it on a rack with the suspension hanging, on a drive on ramp with the wheels under load, removed all sound deadening from the truck and had my wife drive me around in the trunk so I could pinpoint the problem...
I found that the plastic housing that contains the trunk release would resonate at certain speeds (40 and 65mph). I put a piece of foam in between the housing and trunk frame and it has deadened the rattle.

Tinted glass will hide just about anything you do behind it...
