This Mod will get rid of almost all of the trunk vibrations without anykind of sound matting.

Ok...since a few people have asked to know how to stop trunk rattling...i've decided to create a how to.

Things You Will Need:

1. About 4" of rubber air hose...same diameter and thickness as the hose that comes with the Dream Speed Air Intake kit.

2. Two wood screws...1" to 1.5" should do.

3. Electric Drill...the drill bit has to be a little thinner than the screws.

NOTE: I'm hoping to have pics of this mod up here by this weekend...so if any of this confuses you, just hold tight till then.

Step1: Locate the area on the lid itself just behind the locking mechanism.
Step2: Line up the hose up against the back of the locking mechanism.
Step3: Mark on the lid two spots to predrill the holes.
Step4: Also mark on the hose in the same area to predrill holes.
Step5: Predrill the holes in the hose and the lid.
Step6: Screw the hose into the lid. (DO NOT drill the screws all the way flush with the lid...just screw enough to snugg the hose into the lid.)


(WARNING: IF you open and close your trunk lid excessively, this may not be the best mod for you, this will create extra strain on the locking mechanism....otherwise it will be just fine.)

Might make your tail lights not match up since it could add a bit of a gap at the bottom.

Seems like a good temp fix. But as you pointed out, if you use your trunk alot; it may not be the best choice.

i can't really see that stoping much rattle at all, unless your speakers aren't booming that hard, i know i would need way more padding than that to stop my rattles, i'm still thinking of the expanding foam and spray on rubber idea.

did that make a big differrnce for u?

Dmitri

yep no more rattling

YUM

that was a waste of time imo
that might be a fix in your case but it will not likely to fix other people's problems. different cars will have different problem spots where it will rattle more.

I think it only solved his problem because it's a big trunk to begin with which makes it harder for the subs to pound the **** out of it.
