Do you mean the cloth fabric that lays over the back of the trunk?

I have that up at the moment. It's incredibly thin, so I can't see that dampening any noise at all.

*EDIT* The shelf is missing. We call that a cargo cover. The mounting points are somewhat broken. I tried mounting an aftermarket cover, but it didn't fit. That could have been the cover itself.

The spare tire lid was missing, but I ordered an OEM one from eBay.
