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
hey well i'll update myself since nobody else can answer because they're lazy or whatever prevents them to reply and help us out...
heres a pic of the vent that rattles on the rear driver's side, it makes a flapping noise everytime bass hits. all u gotta do is shove somethin in there or put a sticky tab or any other object that prevents the flap from hitting the lid directly.
very easy to fix. other wise once again great DIY except for fact trunk is hard to close...peace

instead of shoving a sock or something above your rear brake light try putting strips of dynamat along the edge that sits agains the window. Thats what i did. We did it when we were replacing the factory speakers. If your windows are tinted you cannot even tell its there if your neat with it. we have no rattling inside our car. Just that darn trunk latch.

Yeah. The dynamat helps. I still haven't been able to get rid of the trunk rattle. I like how easy it is atm to close my trunk. I just let it fall and it closes itself, but everyone else slams it. I've tried playing with the latch before, but I'd have to slam the trunk to get it to lock.
Does anyone have their door lock tab things rattle? Nothing else could be rattling in my door because there's a layer of dynamat.
um, you should have to slam the trunk a little bit, if you just drop it closed, its prolly not sealing well. for the door locks, i put a lil foam behind the piece.

hey i have an extra grey carpet piece with the foam that fits over the cardboard piece. its just sitting in the garage cause i bought a new one already thinking parents lost the old one during moving. it fits sedan only i think. i can take a pic if youre interested.
about the door lock, i used a piece of packing foam like the sponge type stuff and glued it to the door. problem is it falls out sometimes and door rattle starts again. i need a better solution.

saw this thread, i know it's old as hell but i felt like posting. i'm a lurker btw. :P
well, good tips but, what happens if your trunk cracks like mine? lol
metal weld epoxy putty! i found a few place like that inside where the trunk just had holes in the metal from rust. you can get it from most auto stores and its made by permatex. basically you cut out a small chunk, knead it together with your fingers til the two layers are mixed, then push it all around the area to be sealed and in 5-10 mins, it will become rock hard like metal.

just tightened the trunk lid, stops some rattles. also wedged a black hand towel in between the 3rd break light and the window on the rear deck, that seems to eliminate most rattles from the rear. took off both front doors and re-drilled my kenwood 6/9s tighter which really helps rattles with the mids.
no more rattles for me, although my 2 12s are kinda underpowered with a 400w amp so once i upgrade i will prolly need to use some fatmat on the trunk lid
i have the same problem trunk rattles...but never have any problem with the rattle inside the trunk just the license plate rattles and i took care of that putting like a cloth behind the license plate lol....but now i got rattling on the passenger rear side panel by the arm rest thing.
Wish I had a Turbo
