the system in my car makes my trunk and license plate rattle, i've been asking around and it get my trunk (dead'nd) or get dynamats in the the trunk will cost me about 500$ i looked online and the material seemed cheaper, Fatmat sounds like it would work great but i im scared that i wont know how to iswntall it and just totally screw up my car, what should i do??

 

You could just put a little bit of foam behind the plate and the plate frame.

 

To fix the license plate rattle, go to your local hardware store and buy some weather stripping foam and cut two squares to apply to the car underneath the plate. This should quell the rattling.

Edit: Damnit...Dan beat me to it.

 

My dealer put on two pieces of foam for me...I think they might've came with the car...

 

My dealer didn't and eventually it got so annoying I just decided to do it myself. Took all of a dollar and ten seconds.

 

for some reason my license plate is only screwd in with 2 screws ontop.....gay, so i can just buy some foam and tape/glue it on the back of the oplates?, but the frame and the actual license play is seperated at the bottom to, so....WTF! idk, i guess il try the foam idea, hopefully it'll work better than my double sided tape idea

 

They sell foam tape that is sticky on one side. Super easy and only costs a couple bucks for a roll. just put some behind the plate and a little under the frame. 30 second mod.

 

Hehe...both methods are too complicated.

Make sure your license plate is on tight. Grab hold of the bottom edge of the plate...and pull towards you. You bend the plate away from the trunk, eliminating the rattles. No one ever notices.

 

I say you just remove the trunk.

 

 

thx guys, hopefully it will stop the license plate from rattling, now i just need not stop my trunk from rattling, are the FATMATs easy to isntall yourself? and does it work well at all?? for a specialist to install it it will cost me some $$$$$, a lot of $$$$$$$$

 

yea the dynamat and its imitators are all easy to use, some just smell like shit...

i put a rectangle of dynamat xtreme behind the plate itself

 

 

but but but.. it will still rattle sitting in your garage!

 

Sounds like you stop asking and start doing, grasshopper.

i been looking online, the Dynamat is a lot more expensive than the Fatmat, and the local specialist says i could buy that andbring if in for him to put on for me if i wanted, but he wants to make sure if the FatMat is a similar material so he knows how long it will take, IS THE FATMAT A SIIMILAR MATRIAL LIKE THE DYNAMAT??

 

i've been looking around, and it seems like people are saying that Peel N Steel is effective and cheap, i was just wodering where i could buy that and if it is easy to isntall myself.
