Default Is there something to prevent rattle from the trunk

and dont be d!cks and say "oh just dont play it loud" or "dont have a sound system in the trunk"....is there a place that can seal up the cracks or holes (w.e it is) on the trunk to prevent rattle.

sealing holes most likely wont stop rattle.. there are a few things.. there are these little vent things behind the panels in the trunk, usually in the back corner, there is a little ruber flap on there. that thing usually rattles like fucking crazy, the lisence plate. the little loop that sticks up where the truck latches down on, just BARELY losen them, like BARELY, tap it with a hammer just make it move a little bit, like less then 1/16th an inch and tighten it back up, if that doenst work, get some damn cotton or dynomatt if you have the money and start putting it everywhere it looks like metal could be hitting.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

I made the mistake of expanding foam in my mustang trunk lid, put to much and you could see the ripples

yea it stopped the ratteling. just remember it expandes about 3times what first comes out. dont try to fill it up rite out of the can. fill it about 30%and let it expand. i may not look like you have enough in there but trust me that stuff expands for like 3 hours. if you overfill it it wont dry in the middle and you will cave in. also like timtimtim sayd if you over fill it, it could push out on the sheetmetal of your trunk and make it look wavy. its easy just take off the trim panel and squirt some in all the cracks and between all the skeliton suports. oh and lay a big blanket down to catch any extra that may fall into you trunk or on ur cars paint.
