    how to stop trunk rattle

    i sprayed a buttload of expanding foam in between the two metal pieces on the trunk lid and would reccomend it to all. its a biotch to work with, but once i cleaned up all the excess, i am amazed at how it helped. im by no means rattle free, but the foam took away a good 70% of it, and its alot cheaper than dynamat. just make sure not to get it on your carpet, it won't come off! i also got a little on my glass, ill have to razorblade it off. now my big problem is part of my rear dented in, and it rattles bad against the trunk lid, its actually causing the metal to rust.now if i could fix that and stop those 2 rods from rattling, id be all set.

    ya there are a few key spots in the trunk that you have to hit and the rest is good ol' vibration... someone once told be to check the wires behind the brake lights because sometimes they rattle as well... check it out and see if you can find something that we didnt know of....
