take it off. Looks better w/o one anyways. Or go buy a 10 buck dynamate license plate thing, they give you a cover tha works with it, but all it is, is sticky on one side and soft (or rubberish feel) on the other type of stuff in little strips that fit between the plate and cover. Just look for something like I described and stick it in there.
Damn this worked. My trunk is harder to close but it still closes. I put like 6 layers of double sided tape on top of one another and placed it behind the plate and no more plate rattle.

Hey, guys
Sorry for a late post but i'm going to try this DIY because at first i thought my liscence plate was rattling. So i tried taking it off and it still rattles :O. So i started pushing the space where the liscence plate was and that deaden all the rattling. So im not sure what the quick fix for this problem would be. Thanks in advance
i wedged a wood piece about 1.5"-2" long in a hole under the brake light. I wedged it so that it holds the plastic piece in a way that it cannot vibrate. You would have to open the trunk, look under to where u see the brake light and look in there for what im talking about. Also used some pads to fix the brake light into place firmly so it doesnt shake. No rattling. I'll post pics if I can but its pretty self explanatory if u take a look in the trunk. peace
but anyway im gonna try the DIY in a couple days if not tonight. hope shit works
is there an update on the ac vent rattling how do i fix that? the noise in the rear drivers side? anybody?...thanks
i only had a chance to try the first part with the rubber stoppers, and it helped a little bit, but i still get a VERY loud occasional rattle. so i need to fix that. my stoppers go all the way out to where they almost come off, and my trunk will still close. should i leave em like that or should i screw em in so only 2 rings are showing? (like the diy says) the problem with leaving only 2 showing is that the rattling is ALOT worse....
im prolly gonna mess with the latch tomorrow. for those that did, what part of the panel did you start pulling on to take it off? like the bottom part where it meets the floor of the trunk? or what?
wow it took me like 5 min to fix it and i was so happy it dont rattle no more. jus pull up the trunkboard and you'll see the plastic piece covering the latch. on the side from the bottom jus run ur finger up and it should pop out of place. there are 4 clips going across the plastic piece total and it clips back in easily. it wasnt hard at all to unclip. and my trunk doesnt rattle at all anymore. jus gotta do the rear deck and some noise from drivers rear side
well i moved my latch down and now all the loud rattles are gone, but the top of my trunk is still vibrating like mad. its just a slight "bzz...bzz.." but its kinda noticable. im thinkin of just gettin some dynamat extreme to cover the top of the trunk with. hopefully thatll help.
for those that have used dynamat extreme, how many square feet did you need??
jp with u
