the worst rattles in my mk3 were
bootlid
front doors
roof
wipers

the rear quarter`s were ok.

will be worth trying to tighten your boot catch a little to stop if rattling but it means you will have to slam it a bit harder;)

other than that just put it in a few places and see where the next rattle comes from.

flashing tape works but is nowhere near as good as proper soundproofing but then normal dynamat isnt great ideally you should use dynamat extreme or something like second skin products.

i think sound proofing is one of those jobs that however good a job you do there will always be one more thing that rattles... or has some resonance...  :angry:

using dynamat (or similar) will not only increase sound pressure levels... it will also reduce road noise meaning that you can hear more music
