Removing rear deck rattle in 5 Minutes!

***CivicSi907*** · 05-07-2008, 01:14 PM

I just thought it would be helpfully to make a DIY for how to remove the rear deck rattle (Si Coupe)

Needed tools:
1x scissors
1x long off-pist or similar
1x a piece of foam

First just pull the cover off, carefully.

Then fill every hole with the foam and push the foam firmly in the direction of the rear window (using a long off-pist or a pliers like shown in the first picture)

Then put the cover back and its done.

Subwoofer bass sounds so much more better!!!

PS: I hope my American is good and you understand everything!

Have fun!

I used paper towels, but nice job!

Duce2k · 05-08-2008, 12:53 PM

Looks easy enough, good job...

Good Idea, It's simple and maybe Honda should have just put a little more foam in there to begin with.

Your ENGLISH is not bad.

Nice DIY.

PHX_Civic · 05-26-2008, 12:36 AM

okay so i tried this just now, spent about 10-20 mins trying to tweak with it. Couldn't find and foam in the garage

so i used paper towels like kplax35. It kinda helped, but as i kept listening to music, it seems as the vibration from the bass and sub moved the paper towels around and the rattlign came back

looks like ill have to get some foam and try it.
Also CAUTION, dont be like me, use protection on fingers like gloves or something, i got a small cut from reaching into the holes :P

I didnt use my finger to reach the holes! I used the long off-pist and the long nose pliers.

i Know, Im just sayin so others wouldnt be lazy like me and get pliers :/
i tried using a small stick of some sort, i couldnt get it through
does using the foam work tho? like no more rattling at all?

***CivicSi907*** · 05-26-2008, 06:12 AM

High Revs Si · 05-26-2008, 01:15 PM

I found more rattling, but after removing the stock plastic sub guard and the plastic shoulder strap rack guard, the rattle is history...damn plastic...
