first you have to remove the trim around the rear hatch top & bottom, then the rear pillars, then rear side panels come off
there are youtube video's, it's essentially been the same process since 00.
beware of a couple hidden screws on the rear pillars, they usually have a small cover that comes off first then you can access the screw

Before removing the covers, did you check your truck jack compartment? Make sure that the jack and handle are firmly secured in place, as that 'may' be the source of your rattle.

Yup, cant be tighter
if the sound is on the driver side there is a lot of access to the area already by simply pulling the cover panel off and looking/reaching inside the radio amp and misc stuff is in there along side the jack. the passenger side is mostly the rear hvac box
