FAO People with big bass

[Alex]

I have managed to stop most rattling parts of my car caused by my sub, except the numberplate. The plate is in the normal position and is attached with sticky pads to the standard metal plates on the hatch. It vibrates quite badly and want to stop this. I have tried stuffing the hatch with sound-proofing, but this is not sufficient. Any other suggestions?

Cheers lads :D

Use stick pads in more places to stick it on so that there is little room for any of it to vibrate and tap against the metal.

Come on Alex... thought you would have thought of that one for youself mate.

[Alex]

tried it. Its the metal plates against the hatch that are vibrating I think. And yes they are tightened :x


:D

[wisewood]

:roll: well why didnt you say so in the first place, you just wasted peoples time now making them read extra.

[Alex]

by people you mean you. Your time doesn't matter anyway as you do nothing all day anyway :)

[wisewood]

Is there no way you can pad it a bit - must be something you can try with it... come on mate, engage that over developped student brain of yours, put your beer down and think!!! :D

[locky]

I think i no wer u are here, y dont u take the screws out, and use double sided sticky foam on the back of the plates!

[Anton]

mine was the same. used it as an excuse to buy a flush boot, problem solved :D

[Tazzy]

couldnt you just relocate the plate?

[Euan]

put some spunge on the back of the plate. so there can be no movenment of it?

[Alex]

its sorted now cheers lads. :wink:

[Anton]

what did you do? i got the same problem with my corsa

[Alex]

the number plate was not fully stuck to the metal brackets. I just superglued it on fully :o .

[wisewood]

It's gonna rattle everything right down to your teeth mate :lol:

once you got it done gimmea shout and i will come have a look at it. :D

[Alex]

put a bassy tune on, do up all the windows of your car and then close all the doors. It is then easy to see where rattles come from.
