Fixed my Rear Deck Rattle

Just an FYI, I saw a thread on here a few days ago that said to remove the four clips from the upper carpet in the trunk that covers the underside of the rear deck.

I did, and when I tapped on the underside of the rear deck, I could immediately see what was causing the rattle -- There are two black bars and one of them was rattling against the metal frame underside of the rear deck.

Put two pieces of foam between it and the metal and rattle gone.

The other thread had pics, but I have no camera. Just wanted to confirm that it works -- I wish I could find the thread.

I did the exact same thing as you did, put foam between the black bars, seemed to quiet the rattle, at least that one anyway, that rear deck is a mess, there are other rattles back there as well. Another easy fix is the trunk lid cover, it rattles against the trunk itself, I put some foam in between that area as well.

Use a site like, http://acura-tl.hytekhosting.com/ , to host the picture.

And when you are done with that put the URL between these, leaving out the spaces: [IMG] www.url.com [/IMG]
