Default Rear Speaker Cover buzzing

Is anyone else having this/ or had this problem where when they play music there is a buzzing that comes from the rear speakers?

I've identified that it is the cover that goes over the speakers in the back where the windshield that buzzes and if i press down on it the buzzing stops, but i can't seem to take it off to fix it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You can't just remove the speaker cover, you have to remove the entire rear deck. It's all 1 piece.
Do a search for rear speaker removal and you should find a step by step DIY. BTW, you have to remove the rear seats.

I have this problem too. It is really annoying because it sounds like a speaker is blown even though it isn't.

One easier thing to check before removing the rear deck would be the trunk support rods that run underneath the speakers. In some cases, especially older ISs, they may fatigue and flex with use and sometimes touch the magnets underneath. That could also cause the rattle. You'll need to separate or insulate the two (electrical or duct tape the rod section or speaker magnet). Just giving you options.
