Default Re: Clunking Noise From Parcel Shelf Area

I initially thought it might have something to do with the suspension, so I went to the back of the car and pushed down on the rear of the car, but couldn't hear any noise.

My friend offered to jump in the boot so that he can listen to pin-point where the sound is coming from (rear left, rear right, rear center, etc.) and he told me that it sounds like it's coming from the parcel shelf which is between the boot and the front seats.

Is it possible that something is loose inside the parcel shelf compartment? And is it something that can be fixed by myself?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys/gals.

Maybe it is the welding on the sway bar bracket, maybe not too visible as it is behind the wheel and attached to the trunk floor.
It has happened before, go here.
