Hi try removing the top of the spoiler and put some sort of bonding/ silicon sealent between the two mating surfaces to try and give it a little flex befor it rattles.

As well as the above, sound deadening in the boot - cuts out resonance, look for Dynamat Xtreme or Damplifier Pro, although there are other options.

Most of the spoiler rattles will be down to the bootlid rattling/flexing. You can tell the quality of the assembly when you slam the boot. Does it sound like Bentley or a Mercedes door shutting with a solid "whump" or does it sound like an accident with the cutlery draw?
