Boot Ratteling

[SKYL1N]

i got 2X12 inch subs in the boot

now from inside the car all i hear is deep beautiful bass, however as soon as i step out the car any bass is cancelled out by the boot rattle

is there an easy way to fix this

heres some notes

i have stopped the number plate so it cant be that

the boot lid itself doesnt rattle.. if i hold it 1 inch from been closed there is no rattle, however as soon as its closed then it starts

i went to autobarn to ask about some sound deadening rubber they said it would be about 300 bucks

for 300 bucks the boot can rattle all it wants it doesnt effect me while im in the car

is there a cheap/DIY alternative to stop this or just help it

i know there are some heavy doof doof people on these forums like me, surely you went through same problem

car is an r33

thankyou

Just buy Dynamat 19405 Xtreme Trunk Kit and install it... cost u about 180 but sooo worth it

half the time its just the license plate making noise.

Crank the beats and hold the plate, if that cuts it out just put some rubber or foam inbetween the plate and holder.

check the obvious things like the spare, the jack and every nut and bolt you can wave a spanner or screwdriver over.

ultimately sound deadening is worth every penny so buy a bulk pack, deaden both front doors and the boot.

money and time very very very well spent.

I used to get it like a bitch... I actually flexed the boot on my last car... But girls used to sit on it for extended preiods of time

If it sounds like something is just loose, find it, fix it... Otherwise, Dynomat the boot... It will sound better as well, not just stop the rattle

[SKYL1N]

looks like i shall fork out the money and get the dynomat

sounds like a product for after exams

So... the boot lining inbetween the taillights rattled on mine. I put some Dynamat against the metal before the carpet clips back on.

Now... the other one. Jesus it took ages to find! The keybarrel in the boot rattles like a bastard!

And it's not the keybarrel being loose or anything, it's the mechanism INSIDE the keybarrel that rattles. The only way to quieten it is to try and wrap it in foam and an elastic band to muffle the sound. Try it anyway. I could get mine rattling by thumping the inside of the bootlid with my hand. (no carpet on bootlid)
