Licience Plate rattle
At first I thought it was the trunk that was rattling now I realized the 2 12" type R's in my trunk are making the licience plate shake like hell and there are screws at the bottom and its hitting the trunk (i know scratches) what do you guys do to make the plate stay still.

BTW, I put weatherstrip on the back of my plate. It used to rattle when I shut the trunk and now it don't rattle no mo. But, I'm just using Avincar 6x9 in the rear shelf.

The one I bought had self adhesive tape. It was about 3/4" wide and about 1/2" inch thick. Purchased at Lowe's. I attached it to the back of the plate, all the way around the perimiter, leving only spaces for the screw holes. Then I just screwed the plate on (this compressed the weatherstrip slightly. I have a TSX so there were only 2 holes. I bought 2 very short screws and nuts and screwed the plate frame and plate toghether using the two bottom holes on the fame. This keeps the plate from rattleing against the frame. If you want you can slip a little weather strip between the frame and the plate as well.

Easier suggestion...Just get some foam weather stripping from Home Depot/Lowe's and apply it around the edge on the back of the license plate. I also found that the weather stripping is good for the rear deck as well.
