This is a weird one, within the last few weeks, I have noticed a tapping sound coming from the rear of my vehicle. It sounds like someone is in the truck taping on metal or on the roof tapping, there are a few taps, then it stops for awhile then starts back up. These are not little taps, it actually is very loud. I have checked everything in the trunk to make sure its secure. Any ideas?

Is this while driving? Over bumps? At idle?

Pull out the carpet and check the shock mounts. Sounds like the same thing my Roro did when the left hand shock mount went belly up. You can also check the tread on the tires to see if there is unusual wear on them.
If your mounts are bad, eBay has them as does IPD, FCP, and eEuroparts. Not expensive either.
