do u get rattling mostly while ur braking? i hear noise coming from the front end too, but mostly when im braking.. i thought it was the hood latch or something

fixed alot of things by cutting electrical tape to fit around the edges of things inside the car, i know most of you guys have ss's but i have an lt so i have a dome light,,and the clear piece would radle soooooooo bad, so i just took it out wrapped the edges with electrical tape and now its perfect.

Its mosty about making the pieces fit tighter, if you can do that your golden.

my worst problem is the actual trunk itself. and ofcourse the decklid, havnt came up with a simple soultion yet. thinking ill lay a sheet of dynamat inbetween it.

EDIT: and if we can get some solutions i think this should be stickied!

i replaced the domelight itself with a molded shape of second skin. nah i just second skinned the inside of the plastic after i removed it, and even a super thin piece going around the trim of the clear plastic cover.

nice i never thought of putting damp on it hence why i was asking. i just used overkill on the lip that touches the headliner and got creative in a way that i couldn't even explain why bc i don't remember
