Knocking from the rear bumper

I notice that if I let off the clutch toofast or don't give it enough gas, when the engine wants to die, the back rattles bad. I thought it was the muffler, but I found out that it was the silver trim surrounding the muffler, do you guys know if it has screws there? Or how does the chrome/silver trim stay on?

Either the black plastic fastening nut has swelled and cracked or heat shield rotted around fastener. A fender washer and a small piece of vacuum hose to use in place of the cracked nut will fix it.
