rattling
Thursday, November 11, 2010 7:56 PM
i've used about 50 sq of fatmat (same as dynomat) but i still do get a LOT of rattling..
and most of it is coming from the inside of door panels. the problem is it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where the rattle is coming, therefore prevent it.
the whole car is shacking like crazy, rear bumper, windows, trunk lid, doors and even wipers, i don't really know how i can stop it..
any help is greatly appreciated!

The door lock linkages are terrible for rattling around. I posted a simple fix on page two of my thread that fixed it once and for all.

Do your speakers touch the door at all?

you just slowly add to it overtime and take care of anything that can rattle. big thing is adding soft padding to the backside of any plastic panel. panel vibrating against panel is a big cause of noise. if there is something soft between the two, there is nothing to rattle. im running over 300 sq.ft. of sound damping, several cans of sound damping spray cascade v-block dustin lol and allot of foam absorbption panels as well. my car is quiet.

how do you hear where it rattles exactly if you have to play it loud enough that the sound from speakers is louder than that of a rattle?

Play it at a lower level and slowly increase it until you start hearing a rattle. The find it. If its rattling at a low volume it will likely be louder at a higher volume. Address those and see how it sounds.
