I used the lil rubber buttons on mine as well. I have a gold plate frame around my plate and used all four of the nuts/bolts. I found my lil rubber buttons at WalMart for like $0.98 for a package of 12.
Works great, no more rattle for me!

I had a "rattle", "buzz", whatever you want to call it when I got mine back from the body shop. My wife and I searched everything, everywhere. Ended up being the same thing....rubber bumper missing under the rear plate. Dealer put a new one in and that fixed things.

When we picked up our HHR I took it for a spin before signing the documents...I immediately noticed a noise from under the drivers dash. It sounded like a rapid scratching-vibration and was also accompanied by another separate sound that reminded me of a relay opening and closing rather quickly. I asked the sales manager to drive it and listen, and he did, but he didn't have any idea what it was. He asked if we would leave it or come back for it Monday, but we drove 1/2 way across Texas to pick it up so I took it home and decided to take it to the local dealer for a look...
About 500 miles into the cars life and the sound had completely disappeared. We've got 800 on it now and still no rattle. Maybe when that knucklehead hit me (the HHR, not me literally) the other day he straightened something out. I dunno.
As soon as I get plates I'm going to keep an ear open for the rattle you referenced in this thread.

i found the source of some of my rattles, caused by bass.
1. Visors, where they connect and disconnect, those plastic pieces rattle
2. The plastic covers where you can change the tail light bulbs
3. Plastic cover on rear hatch, hole damn thing rattles when bass hits
