the dynamat isn't gonna help you much cuz its the window vibrating which in turn vibrates the windshield wiper...best bet I would say is remove the wiper...

My first xB had a similar problem with the bazooka tube I put on it- I fixed it by putting cork in the wiper arm- like I stuffed it and then it wasn't rattling at all- try that man. "WHAT MOVES YOU?!"

Is it facing the back door or the front on the car. I don't know if it will help but point it in a different direction.

dAbOkZ

nah, its facing like the trunk..........any one know of a cheap, easy way to take out the rear windshield wiper, and make it look good?i once saw one w/ like a stub, looked real clean....
lovin the feedback by the way, keep it coming

I saw a BSP xB the other day with the wiper blade and motor completely removed. In it's place was a round chrome fill plug. It is almost totally flat as the plug is intended to fill empty antenna holes on cars, so they come in various sizes and the chrome looks good and shiny. The wiper hole on the back lid is a little off-center, and it looks a little different to have the plug there, but if you really want to get rid of the buzzing and rattling once and for all, this may be the best way...

and I'm sure that could be sanded and body color matched...

get a bB emblem and stick it on over the hole. thats if the emblems is a solid piece.... or is the bB carved out?

FLY_SCI

The standard rear bB emblem is carved out.

The wiper and motor should not be that difficult to take out if you are fairly well accustomed to using wrenches. Obviously, you would take the motor out from the inside of the door.

You can find the plugs at Radio Shack or any decent radio/stereo shop.

nice...ill do that

I think that was me that you saw because I have a chrome type cover that goes over the hole.

If you remove the wiper and fill the whole with a plug (like mentioned above) or filled with a piece of metal welded and sanded and painted. i'm running 1200 watts with 2 12" kicker L7's. and everything in my car vibrates (exaust , outside panels, front windshield wipers) I dynamated and it helped a little. one "ghetto" solution would be too take the wiper blade off and put a foam strip there instead.

anoter geto way is to take blake tape around it fo now, it helped alot for me. later i plan on replaceing it with a camera.

dAbOkZ

yeah the camera is a good idea...kinda outta ma price range..black tape sounds a little too cheap, smart tho.onlything is that the whole is like off centered, guess u cant tell w/ the dark color tho
