Default Rolling rattle mystery solved!!!

A while back I posted about a rolling rattle noise & got lots of suggestions on what it might be. It was really pissing me off tonight so I was determined to get it figured out. I can sleep soundly tonight after finally figuring this stupid thing out. I was able to isolate the noise in the rear cargo area and by hitting the top with my hand, would make the thing roll slightly. I pulled up the styrofoam insulation and there were 2 nuts that were stuck together that were rolling around. I don't have any idea how thye got there or what they are for. I think Willie had one too many Lowenbraus at lunch and dropped them while installing the insulation.

Here is a pic of the culprit:

Mystery nuts were under the black styrofoam

If our stock keeps going up, I'm ditching the Outback for an S4 Avant. Happiness is 4 warm turbos!
