Howdy...

Do you guys get a banging or a squeaky noise from your parcel shelves when you run some bass through your speakers or crank your sub(s)?

I used to only get it when i was pounding out some low bass and when I was back at the audio store last weekend, I showed one of the guys who started mucking around with the tray from inside the cabin and from the boot. Now i'm starting to notice it just driving along the motorways etc.

I think i've isolated the places where its coming from and now need to try and fix it. i think its the cover from the rear wiper banging up against the back window and also just one side of the shelf where the vents are...

Has anyone else had this problem? I presume its common...

How did you get around it? thick tape, foam, some sort of divider?

If so, where did you get it from and how much was it?

This noise is driving me nuts!!! :crazy:

ahhh thanks Humbla. I have noticed that the shelf is sitting up. Maybe it is something to do with the clips. Have to try and figure out how to clip them down. As i said before, its only one side that makes the noise... perhaps one clip is right..

i noticed my left side (looking from the rear of the car) is loose aswell

i tried getting it back on with the slip but it doesnt seem to wanna sit there either..... i think its weldin time :P

Fixed!

Well... It appears to be for now...

You were right Humbla, the clip was facing the wrong way and just hanging out. Fixed that, then proceeded to put some foam tape stuff in some of the gaps as a buffer between the wiper cover and the back window and between the parcel shelf and metal.

All good! Thanks! :D

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
