thats funny, all my sounds ive got in my car (a lot which is really loud) the only ratteling ive had is my number plate ratteling and i just stuck some snotty tissue out my pocket behind it lol
i used some stuff called brown bread (not taking the pish its pukka stuff)
got a a couple of rolls of it and did me whole boot
i steal mine from work lol, but being as you probably cant do that brown bread is praps your best option

where can i get "brown bread" from and how much?
cheers
kwick save,asda bout 30p a loaf :lol: :lol:
joke
any sort of car audio shop mine was about a tenner
another sound deadener is dynamat i think
ive got some dynamat sound deadening and its great i could hear the improvement straight away the sub sounds much better but its expensive i got 1 roll which covered most of the wheel well and it costs about 18 quid but its worth it though

try your numberplate, the flexible gap between the two screws might be flaping against the bodywork !
also squish some little bits of foam into the slots where your parcel shelf sits, i found that the parcelshelf was rattling in it's fittings.
And finally just tighten up any screws you can see in the trim panels around the parcel shelf/boot.
ok i had the same problem, but a trip to the local B&Q helped, go to the roofing area, and get self adhesive flashing tape, its almost the same as "brown bread and dynamat" but a lot cheaper, worked wonders on mine, and i have 2x 15" subs in the back, think i got a 10m x 30cm roll for about 8 quid just use a couple or rolls
Dynamat is not intended as a sound deadener, it is meant to for sound clarity. Rather than absorbing the sound and killing the rattles it reflects the sound giving a much better note.
Definately worth spending a few bucks.
