Okey i have sucksessfuly eliminated ALL the truck rattles. (now i have bumper rattles) lol, those will be next.

first off. this is what we have to work with


i removed the safty latch. if i ever do have someone in my trunck they are not getting out.



on to stage #1. i took about 60 sg feet of insulation. i bout a huge roll at home depo for about 10 bucks.

i took about 2-3 hours and i stuffed every oriffice




okey now that we have the whole trunk stuff`d like a huge turkey.

on to stage #2. but just with this i did notice a huge differance.




okey this is my attemt at doing something i have never done befor and it just seem`d like the right way to do it. i have put about 7-9 pounds of extra weight in the trunk lid. and i have no rattle in the trunk.

i also took the auto dimming mirrior/compas off and put on of the old school ones on. it makes a lot of noise.

Stage #3 of this will be to cover the whole trunk with the same liner as my sub floor. to really make it look clean.

 

Looks good. Have you turned up the stereo and heard any rattles? What about your rear deck?

 

the only rattles i have now are from the rear bumper. and i will be fixing that in good time

 

nice....

im pouring cement into mine......

=)

so, you wanna help me DM a few areas, or what?? looking to calm some road squelch is all....

 

My shit rattles super loud in the back passager pillar when in hit 98 mph I wish I could fix it.

 

insulation will fit a lot of if not all rattles. and the sound deadening stuff will really stop em.

down side is the sound deadening stuff is teh heavy

 

I dont even know howd I get to it.

 

Did the same thing on my old Malibu. In order to fix the bumper rattles, two 5' long 3" thick foam strips had to be inserted between the bumper cover and the support. Not only did it get rid of all the rattles, it made the bumper strong as hell - friend of mine tagged my rear end in his '74 F-100 with a big metal bumper going about 10mph - not a scratch on my car, yet it bent his bumper!

 

all i had to do was add a little Dynamat to certain areas and all my rattle was gone. only thing that rattles is my michigan license plate frame. IS there anything different on the STI trunk or no?

 

My solution: don't have a big ass subwoofer in j00 trunk!
