Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Sub rattling...

I've got an Infinity Bass Link (it came with the car) in the trunk and it keeps rattling. Does any one else have this problem with thier trunks? How did you fix it? Thanks!

Dynamat!!! your trunk and stuff a sock on your gas lid.

ive alwayz had that gas lid rattle, i never thought of stuffin a sock in it, that gives me an idea imma put some kinda of celica shirt in there but is it safe

just dynamat it. Is it the sub rattling or the trunk? If it's the trunk dynamat will fix it. If it's the sub, it's on it's way to being blown

if your cheap like me and don't care much for bass competition get dynomat spray foam. its cheap and does the trick. also double sided stick tape with foam padding for your license plate is cheap easy fix with only 2 screws on the top and nothing on the bottom.

if you have rattling around the latch like i did make sure to tighten the bolts from the inside, tighten everything you can i guess if its rattling, and do mat the car... im doing mine tomorrow i cant wait

you can put a sock in your fuel door?

90% of the rattling is either 1) your fuel door or 2) your rear plate.

If you have a rear plate frame, Dynomat the back of it. Plastic frames also rattle less. Dynomat the back of the plate itself, and also consider some sort of 2-sided foam tape to hold the bottom of the plate to your car.

As for the fuel door, dynomat helps some, but stuffing something in there works well too. I used to use this cotton balls, but that became a pain when I filled it up.

small pieces of foam in the gas door...dynamat EVERYTHING in ur trunk. and double sided tape on plate i did that on mine and didnt rattle at all

Thanks guys! I'm gunna go get some Dynamat soon. But about stuffing the sock, I dont think I should do that because in Jersey it's illegal to pump our own gas. Actually, maybe I should just to see the dudes reaction when he goes to fill my tank. LOL

its illegal to pump ur own gas? WHAT?

some places in Jersey are full service ONLY.
I'll have to try the fuel door, I've had a nasty rattle from bass over there I couldn't find

Yeah, I've even been yelled at when I tried to do my own gas because I was waiting for about 10 min for him to do it. I got fed up. So I got out and started to do it when this old man came bolting out and siad, "HEY DON'T YOU TOUCH THAT, I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU." lol But everyplace I've been in Jersey has Full service only. And from what I hear it's illegal threw out the state to do it yourself, and you can be fined.

Jersey is just too cool to do our own gas.

Oh and I found out that the rattling is the glass from trunk... how am I supposed to stop THAT from rattling?? I can't dynomat that... Should I just do the whole trunk? will that fix it?

i just put fatmat throughout mine. i'm gonna go replace the fuse and see how it all sounds with the system. i'll let you guys know tonight when i get home from work.

what bolts you talkin about??? pics?? my trunk rattles because it seems to be not holdin on to the latch tight enough what should i do?? and dynomat dont work for that

nevermind the rattling i am still tripping about the no self serve law. in cali i dont know a place that is full service let alone not to be able to do it yourself?????WIERD!!

it like tat in oregon too

I'm sure it has something to do with clean air laws. Although I can't imagine how that helps...

i have traveled to oregon n its actually cause they don wanna get sued for damages from incidents like explosions, fire, or improper use cause the statistics are high for such incidents in those states.

like what happened to timo

im guessing that there is a little space between the seam of the window and the perimiter of the truck...so try to shove some foam in those spaces all around the window and press hard to make sure it stays... (all of this done on the inside of truck window by the way)

i'm back. the fatmat works so well. it hardly rattles at all, except for the fuel door, which i stuck a sock in. that took care of it for the most part. thanks for the advice guys.

how much dynomat do i need for the trunk area?

^^^ Yeah, I'd like to know this too!

Just buy the bulk pack. It will cover the entire trunk, license plate, and behind the rear speakers. When you install make sure you wear gloves or you will tear up your hands with hundreds of little cuts.
