Only solution I found for the time being until they snap off is to put a gob of silicone grease.

After removing everything I decided to remove brakelight (Top back window)

There is wires wrapped in thick plastic that was rattling against metal.I ziptied that sucker and issue resolved.

Nice, glad you found the problem. Totally forgot about that high mount brakelight causing a rattle. I had the same issue years ago and just stuffed some foam in there.

I already did that to stop rattle when I bought car.

This was the wire/s that power the brakelight vibrating/bouncing and hitting metal inside.I ziptied wire harness and noise gone.
