does anyone know any tricks on getting the rattles out of the rear deck? the only thing i can even think about doing is stripping out all factory material and cutting a piece of wood to match and bolt it in.

You could try something like Dynamat or Noisekiller, just listen for the area that's rattling, and Dynamat it. That should prevent it from vibrating as quickly. If it's a visible area, you can Dynamat and then cover it with carpet or whatever's there.

Here's one I just tryed the other day and it has worked great! I took that pink fiberglass insolation stuff (pink panther) and stuffed it under the factory panels. Now the rattle from my rear deck is practically gone.

If I find a removable panel in a car that is rattling against the steel, I will usually remove the panel and carpet the backside of it. After re-installation the panel will not rattle anymore. Plus, it's CHEAP!

And that's the bottom line, cuz: LORD DUKK SAYS SO!

Dukk, in my car it wasn't the panel that was rattling, but actually the rear deck. The stuffing I find puts a little presure on the deck keeping it from rattling. But the carpet idea is a good one.

Try bracing the underside of the rear deck to the bottom of the trunk floor, or the cabinet with 2X4's. And cut some of the rear deck to let more air flow.

well i think i have found something that will work. i work in a fabrication shop and we make some noise panels for a major engine company. we line the inside of the noise panels with some time of foam padding that has one side that is like a sticker surface. i took a couple of sheets home and line the rear deck with it and the under side of my trunck lid also.this helped alot. now i plan on taking a 1/4 inch sheet of mdf and cutting it to fit both the deck and the trunck lid and bolting it down, covering in carpet before i do this. im hoping when i bolt it down that this will smash the foam making it a little more solid.thanx for all suggestions.
