    If anyone is interested, the back plastic part behind the rear seats was continually rattling from my aftermarket stereo and it was driving me nuts. so i improvised.

    i took out the child restraint covers and and wrapped some old tshirt around a golf ball once and wedged it under the plastic so it wouldnt rattle off the body and the rest of the shirt was hanging out. i did it under all three covers and just put the covers back on. i used the tshirt to avoid more rattles and to be able to pull out the golf ball if i need to/want to.

    TADA! No more rattles.

    Cheaper than dynamat!

    Anyways, there it is if it helps anyone!

    u must not have the fold down rear seats. Why dont you guys just remove the plastic and wrap it in trunk liner material and reinstall it. this should dampen it.

    i literally spend over an hour trying to take that plastic off, with no luck...

    i have an aftermarket audio system and i dont even crank it that much cause the rattling..... LancerGTS heard it and know what im talking about lol

    I have two 10's and there is no point to put the bass past -4 or you'll get a headache from all of the rattling , and dynamat is to damn expensive :x
