Audio: Extreme roof rattling in my 91 wagon/shuttle...

Figured I'd post this here in the 1 to 5 section - maybe increasing the chance a fellow wagoneer or hatch guy would see it.

With my volume not even half way up, my roof starts rattling.

If I turn it all the way up (or close) my phone can flip once maybe twice on the roof in a bounce. Wondering how I can reduce the flex, in turn reducing the amount of sound from my roof.

My roof liner is in perfection condition. It's not soo much the flex I care about, it's just very annoying to listen to.

What did/would you do?

Totally defeats the purpose of me even having them. Also wastes the money I put into them a few years ago.

Looking for a solution to the rattling, and means of being able to enjoy my toy.

I know, with it turned up all the way I can be heard 2-4 blocks away... I'm not even at half way up...

Wait, let me just say, 1 Sony Xplode could rattle it (easily).

I think I found out what it is though, just a matter of disabling it.

There's like the metal roof, a board, then the roof liner.
The board is in between the 2 loose. I have to find a way to mount it, foam it, or something... I think it'll work. That or it'll just rip all that foam apart over time shooting it all over my car.

Btw, know any cheap dynomat off-brands?
