Angry Please help trunk rattles like crazy

Please help me guys,

I'm so desperate. My trunk rattles really bad. I use extreme dynomate for the top trunk. I use 2 layers. I don't want to use the spray in my trunk cause than I can't get to the wirings I stuff the hollow areas of the trunk with the same material as the people use in the sound room to keep the sound inside. Please if anybody tride anything else let me know. I hate the ratttle in the trunk. It's so bad that the rattle is louder than the bass

thx guys,
Mr.T

Check to see if the actual trunk lid that is the cause or not. If it is you can adjust the black pods that is attached to the trunk lid. Turn them so that they stick out more and see if that helps.

My sub ratlles my trunk too!

My trunk is Dynamated and I even have foam stuffed between the back of the decklid (inside behind the ACURA logos). But the last rattle I have is the latch on the deck lid. Where the little hook holds the metal. See if that's it. I might try a strip of teflon tape on the metal part - but it can't be too thick or the trunk won't pop!

I tried playing with those black things and it seemed to hel a lot. It sounds like most of my rattling is coming from inside my bumber behind the tag. The tag used to rattle but nothing a little double sided tape does not fix.

And here's a little tip....if you remove the liner from the trunk lid, you will see a black cable that goes to the trunk release lock...you need to tie wrap that down so it doesn't vibrate and hit the lid.

Cant we all just go dig around in our attic and steel some insulation from there. Yes, Jerry Rig is right but damn dyno is so damn expensive.
