Noisy Tour Pack Backrest

I don't notice it with a passenger but when riding solo and hitting bumps the backrest makes noise. I checked to see the bolts were tight but there is movement and I wondered if anyone else has experienced this along with what they did to eliminate it.

Mine does it as well. I think it's just the nature of the beast.

Now that's a good idea.
