Help with rattling trunk!!

I finished my trim panels up Wednesday, and with those in place, I don't hear the flapping sound from those vents anymore.

Pulling them off shouldn't cause a problem, except maybe allowing a bit more noise from the outside in. Covering them up will cause more of a problem. I did that and it made the Rear hatch and doors very hard to close when the windows were up in the car. For the little rattle they cause, I would leave 'em alone.
