so i was outside my car today listening for rattles of any sort. I thought my dynamat in the hatch had done the trick...wrong. The biggest problem is the wiper which i think ill end up tearing off soon. But another major issue was the snap on cover on the third brake light. i noticed this little guy makin noise only at certain frequencies of bass, but still. after some thought i found something very similar to this in my garage:



its a strip of foam with an adhesive back. I wrapped the flush edge of the cap with this rolling it over the side to look smooth. i originally planned on using a gasket of some sort, but this was way more easily formable and it was just thin eneough to do the job. all cap rattle is gone and i couldnt be happier. this stuff is cheap so try it out. If ur lucky u may even have some laying round the house.

 

good idea! i noticed that the other day

 

It doesnt go away for good.... I remove my third brake light cover all together and about a week or two later i have a new and different rattle.... its a f*cking curse!!!!

 

hey it cant be as bad as the rattles in my old 96 grand am. 5min in that POS and u would be ready to kill someone.

 

seriously, my rear end started ratteling like 2 months after i got it, when i wuold hit bumps it would rattle...then after a 10 w7 in the thing everything rattles AAAAAHHHHHHHH

 

yeah, I have a pair of Phoenix Gold Xenons in the back of mine. I have to point them straight up to avoid the rattles of death. Only problem is that now my roof flexes like a siv. Im currently in the middle of a major E-Dead install. Hopefully that will do the trick. (Wiper already removed here)

 

we are blessed and cursed...our cabin design lets the bass fill nicely without goin thru a trunk, but we end up firing point blank at the hatch. cant complain too much tho cause my system sounds very solid right now.
