Default Rear Parcel Shelf Vibration

I have the stock stereo on my 2007 D3 which I think sounds great. However, the rear parcel shelf is vibrating with some songs. I've tried a number of ways to stop it with no success. Anyone else had this issue and able to sort it?

Delboy, I'm struggling a bit with this one. I took the trim down from within the boot and it's all steelwork and the vibration is from above this. I'm now looking to take out the parcel shelf from within the car but I haven't a clue where to start to remove this. It looks well integrated in. I would really appreciate some direction pointing with this one. Thank you.

It's quite a substantial job taking this all out. Will just have to wait till the next dry day. Thank you very much.

I can report I took the rear heart and guts out of the car. I found the sponge padding under the rear parcel shelf to be gone or minimal everywhere. So, I padded it all underneath with cut up sponge pieces (kids bath toys!) stuck in with sticky tabs. It has reduced the vibration massively but I can still hear it a bit. I think I will just have to notch the subwoofer back a little bit and it'll be fine. Thanks gents.
