the spoiler rattles because......

that stupid wire that runs inside it and then down the right side. i took off the light and then put strips of weatherstripping foam all behind and then screwed back on thinking... ahhh problem solved. but then i hit it a few times and still heard the ratlle. so i figured out its that dang wire. so i took the light back off and squirted expanding foam in the hole. then put the light back on. i put a towel around the area cause that stuff makes a mess just in case and sure enough it started oosing out two holes in the spoiler. but thats fine it will break off tomorrow. i also put a piece of 3/4 across the top of the spoiler and clamped it down. thats gonna sit on there overnight to make sure the foam spreads to the left and right and doesn't try to go up and dent up my spoiler. so we will see in the morning if this worked. hope so [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] but there isn't much else i can do...

Hmm alittle extreme..but okay [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..

Hopefully your spoiler goes unscathed and it works our well.. There's a much better solution for that one though...Foam pipe insultors..Just cut strips and stuff them in there..that would have done the trick without any risks....I Hope you uses minimal expanding foam?

Cheers
