tightened trunk latch, but it still rattles!! help?
so i tightened my trunk latch and used some closed cell foam around that black piece that houses the latch mecanism on the actual trunk lid. i still hear nasty rattle from the trunk moving up and down a lil i suppose. i will be raamating my trunk this weekend, but i know that i need to fix that problem first... anyone have a suggestion?

the little black rubber stoppers on the corners of the lid, unscrew those a little bit... should add some more pressure... i have to slam my trunk hard to close it, but i have little to no rattle on my lid even though my speakers are firing upwards...

Dynamat, and tightening the latch should fix it, but keep in mind everything has a natural resonant frequency. I have eliminated my rattle, but I still get vibration. I am not smart enough nor do I have the time to combat physics.
