The rattling

Hey, i got subs in my protege, i love the sound of them, just there is an annoying rattling sound. The sound is coming from the plastic or vinal rear deck, whatever its called. Is there any way i can do something besides dynamat to eliminate this rattling sound?

help u with thta rattling

hey, i had the same problem, but only after i installed some 6X9s. what i did was i took those latches that cover the babyseat holder, but some paper towel around and it looking like an L shape, but the _ part facing down and jam it inbetween the rear window and the plastic cover. make sure that it is reall stuck inbewtween there because the rattling would knock them out. this works for me so make sure u do it right

cheap, too.. silicone caulking is also good for some things, I'd explain, but y'kno find where 2 pieces touch, and take care of it.
