Silicon gap filler or sikaflex between the bracing and bootskin on the underside of the bootlid and just chuck a bit of foam in all the other gaps in the bracing to absorb any other rattles. Then a few sheets of dynomat Xtreme over the top. Works wonders in my EF although now there is other rattles coming from elsewhere, but the bootlid is pretty much rattle free and feels much more solid.

I got some silicon gap filler from bunnings which you can get at any other hardware store. Sikaflex is good to use but its messy stuff. Sikaflex you should be able to get from supercheap, repco etc as its similar to what is used for windscreens, headlights etc.
Dynomat Xtreme i got from Repco at about $40 for a sheet, i needed 2 sheets to do it to, as one sheet only covered just over half of the boot. It is a bit expensive but its good stuff and works very well. You could you use any other type of sound deadener similar to dynomat which should also work. Think there was something similar at bunnings called Flash Tac or something like that which is way cheaper, but i prefer dynomat. Mine ended up looking like this after i was done..
