Default Rattle noise from rear spoiler

I have a 2015 RCF and I have this rattling sound coming from the rear. The sound happens when going over bump or rough road. When the spoiler is up it doesn’t happen. I am thinking it is coming from the spoiler. Any suggestion! Thank you for your help.

I have a 2015 and haven't had any issues with rattling. I'd let the dealer have a look at it.

In case its not the spoiler, I've had a rattle from a few different license plate frames, typically the metal ones. Don't ever use them anymore...

Thank you very much. I do have a metal license plat holder. I really appreciate the reply.

Might try removing it temporarily, should be quicker than a trip to the dealer.

OR if you still want to use the metal license frame, then use the "foam double sided sticky insulation strips". Put it on the outside perimeter of the metal license plate and stick it on to the car (or if you are worried about leaving sticky residues on your car paint, then don't peel off the side that will contact the car's paint). These come in various widths and colors (color really doesn't matter bc it will be hidden behind the license plate anyway). Available at Home Depot or Lowe's or Walmart or most home improvement stores.
