sooooo anyone ever post anything about the rear deck rattle fix?
also, i have an 04 ex and my rattle doesnt come from loud music, it just happens somewhat randomly while im driving, some where from the back. and when i slam my driver door shut i can also hear something rattle. no sure if it the same thing, let me know if you have any ideas. my last car's suspension was f'ed up and it rattled from the back at somewhat random times but i would hope that my suspension wouldnt be destroyed already. when there was all the rain around here i was driving and hit a huge pothole cuz i couldnt see it cuz the water was so deep but that couldnt have busted my suspension could it have?

I put some of that ept foam that honda uses. It has a sticky side and you can hide it enough not to be visible. Although I still get rattles now and then.

Iliminated trunk rattle! Here is what I did... Took off license plate and caulked, glued and re-applied... DONE!
Took of rear Honda Emblem, took off two sided tape and glued back on... DONE!
In trunk lid, injected a two part solution which creates a closed cell foam grey in colour. That keeps the the panels from rattling sooo much. Only 25$ at a local Toyota Dealership... DONE!
Went to Dollerama store and bought two rolls of black duct tape. Taped every hole in rear trunk lid... DONE! and you almost can't even notice the tape because the colour matched freakin awesome.
Last but not least, Applied a small gasket under the rear spoiler and re-fastened...DONE!
only think rattling now in my brain and I did not use any Fat Mat, Dyno Mat, Brown stuff whatever!
i did this diy about 3 months ago and was checking up on it a few days ago. turns out that if you have an oem spoiler and do this, you may be fvcked! i moved the trunk latch to the last tick and this caused my spoiler edges to slightly hit the body of the car every time i close the trunk. damn it, now the spoiler is cracking around the screws. im so pissed, i cant find my damn 10mm socket wrench either. im going to the store tomorrow and undoing this diy.
Here is my take for the license plate... simple... easy... cheap.
I first noticed a rattle from my license plate before i had the system in. It would rattle everytime I closed the trunk which bugged me.
I have a chrome CIVIC license plate holder and then the plate itself.
Go to Lowes, Home Depot, etc. and get 1" Foam Weatherstripping. It's black in color and has adhesive on one side.
Apply one strip to bottom of holder on back. Apply second strip to bottom of license plate on back.
D. O. N. E. DONE.
Trust me. The only rattle I have now is a small rattle from the sub caused by the bottom of the trunk lid (to which the DIY refers to) and now I'm going to fix it with this know how.
HAHA sock's! that kick's a$$ I folded a few sheet's Burger King napkins in between the Lic. plate and trunk haha it worked for the Lic. from making that pebbles in a tin can noise or was that just my car? haha oh well it happens
I took out my deck lid, and ran some weatherstripping thats about 3/4" wide and sticky on one side. It is a soft feeling black roll that it comes in. I placed that along the whole edge of the lid by the window (placed on lid though). Than I reinstalled it, and rattles were gone, and you cant see it! I figured that sock thing out like 3 years ago, but I used a small piece of paper towel folded up. a sock would be way to big and unclean, IMO.
