Rear compartment rattles fixed

thekurgan · 01-06-2007, 04:18 PM

So, over bumps, I'd hear this ticking and squeaking from the rear compartment of my coupe (07 Si). I Found a couple of problem areas (sorry, my sis has my camera, so no photos).

1. The toolkit for the spare tire is some crappy styrofoam that was rubbing the cover and the rubber from the spare tire; I wrapped in a thin piece of sheet - squeak gone!

2. I removed the far rear plastic cover where the trunk lid closes and found several plastic-to-metal areas that I lined with hobby felt, even where several cables were routed against the metal and where the lid for the spare hits the plastic pieces - ticking gone!

Sorry no photos, but most of us "know" are cars and can figure these things out, but let me know if you need more 'splanation.

I fixed mine by putting rolls of paper towels in the trunk holes and pushing them up,while music with loud bass was playing and no rattles since! hope that helps also.
