Please, for heavens sake look into using proper grammar, that way I can understand what you are saying and can help you accordingly.
If you are having issue with boot rattle i would purchase some Dynamat, cut out some triangles and place them onto the thin pieces of sheet metal on either side of the bracing. Then if the noise is still there use some Sikaflex or a Flexible Adhesive and use that to seal the bracing to the bootlid, therefore eliminating the chance of those two pieces vibrating against each other.
From personal experience though do not cover the whole bootlid in Sound Deadner as its a waste of time and money and you might actually find that alot of the vibrations are coming from where the rear windscreen meets the roof metal.

ow okay fair enough thow, what im getting at is if you were to tap the boot with anything it sounds like its hollow and not firm?

Probably because its a thin piece of metal, and the bracing are hollow. Dynamat is a product that adds mass to a panel to prevent resonance and rattling.

Every time I hear boot rattle its usually the number plate that vibrates and hits the boot lid. Get something that will attach to the bottom of the number plate on the bottom and it will prevent that from happening. 2mm thick spongy rubber glued to plate will do the trick.

You need to sound deaden the boot and the back of the number plate.

ok i sound deadened my bootlid today two twelves in the boot i needed it lol,, on my mission i found that in the bottem of the spare tyre well there were a few lose bolts and stuff shaking around down there also... main thing to look at it if you have a low mounted brake light that its not vibrating against the window let foam be your friend =)

I found the heat shield above the muffler rattles allot but sounds like its coming from the boot so check that as well.
