E90 have a rattle/squeak/squeal sound in the rear shelf

Does your E90 have a rattle/squeak/squeal sound in the rear shelf where the speakers are located or near that area?
I had this sound for more than a year and finally found it’s from the rear shelf. Had the car service at the stealership but they could not fix the problem.

Anyone knows how to take this piece/section apart? Did a search but can’t find a DIY.
I got mad felt tapes and lubricants ready but do not have access to that area…lol

I have had the car 3 months and just started noticing and i keep looking back and can't find where it's coming from. Figure it would be the seat belt but they are on the leather..

Also, i open the door to grab something yesterday and i hear a ringing sound and it was coming from the roof light casing and it was just ringing.. I tried pressing all the buttons and couldnt make it turn off. finally i just said fuck it, locked the doors and left. it was gone a few hours later...I diddn't buy the alarm and was wondering what caused that noise and I thought Its just a casing up there for the lights..

No problems here. My problem is that my driver's seat squeaks like a whore's bed, but perhaps I need to loose some weight

This noise has been driving me nuts. I bought the car for my wife but she never mentioned it and when I drove it the other I couldn't stop looking back to see what was wrong. Very annoying.
