If you have a spoiler.......take off the brake light lense.....then put weather stripping around the lense. ALSO.....check the liscense plate.

Hearing rattles outside the car is more common than inside the car. If you hear them inside the car then its probably the rear deck where the 6x9's are mounted that is rattling.

I have the same problem. The rattle is coming from or around the brake light. Unfortunately, can't do anything until it gets warmer.

use trimbrite on the trunk and dynamat.

then use weather stripping one the inside back window to stop the light from hitting the glass. thats what worked for me.

oh yeah, make sure to put some on the license plate.

Once you fix one rattle, something else will start rattling.

I get some rattling on the passenger door. Anybody experienced this? I've tried to look for where it rattles, no luck though. I hope its something to easily fixed and won't be needing Dynamat.
