just today i started hearing this REALLY annoying sort-of-high-pitched-rattle coming from the trunk lid. becuase of my subs, just to make that clear. when i leaned on top of the trunk lid/spoiler the noise stopped, any ideas?

 

ya its typical BASS RATTLE
you can try a few things but they only slightly help it alittle. dont expect to get rid of it all....
1 try adjusting the latch to close tighter
2 get some truck camper shell foam thats about 1/4inch think and apply it around the trunk lid close to where the stock weatherstriping runs along.

tho their is one downfall to either way.... youll have to slam the trunk lid pretty hard sometimes depending on how tight ya adjust it.... but sometimes it can be something small piece thats rattling.could be the liscence plate trim panel rattling.

 

is it wierd i just noticed it today? there was some considerable snow and ice, could that have anything to do with it?

 

once you've had subs for a while, things will start to rattle loose. just the way it is. My civ is really bad for it. just takes time to find out hat everything is and how to make it rattle less by jamming things in different places

 

amen brother!

 

I've had a few problems with rattling. First it was my license plate. I just had to tighten it down, and put some super glue on the corners. So that was it wasn't metal on metal. Now it's way worse. The plastic cover behind the back seat likes to rattle up against the window. It's loud, and makes listening unbearable. I haven't really found a permanent solution for this yet. Right now I just have some sealent tape where the plastic and window connect... Temporary solution.

As for your trunk. Try to find the exact place where a connection is going on. You could try to put something soft inbetween them.

I feel your pain, man. It almost makes me not want to have my subs on at all.

 

superglue on the liscence plate.LOL
no no no......
get some truck camper shell foam and simply put it behind the liscence plate and then reinstal the plate. ive done it to just about every car ive owned to keep the plate from rattling! works great! dont even try dynomat liscence plate kit it doesnt work for crap since its so thin!

 

i found that cardboard behind the plates works great

 

i weatherstripping all over the rear deck bottom, no more rattles

 

if you take the subs out does the rattling stop if so then you have solved your problem!!
