I got rear ended a while ago and my trunk rattles all the time now. I got a quote from a shop and they said they'd have to take off the bumper, set the trunk back and put the bumper back and just that would cost like 220.00. I don't have the money for that, but I need my trunk to stop rattling becasue I am going on a trip to panama in a bit. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could hold the trunk down so it won't rattle without sacrificing function; I still need to be able to get in the trunk too. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

I would make sure the sound system was cranked full, then the trunk rattles will be a thing of the past

 

Well a sound system might make that rattle even worse, no?

 

You didn't get money to fix it from insurance? If you were rear-ended, the other person is at fault, no?

 

yea i did but pretty soon after the accident my alternator went out and i had to use the money to get that...

 

dynamat it.

 

lol i was thinking that when i read his first post

 

I have sort of the same thing its like the trunk is closed but its off somewhere and i cant figure out where.. It bounces over every damn bump in the road.

 

are u sure the 4 trunk latch bolts are fully tightened?

 

yes i check the bolts and there tight. Weird i cant figure it out.

 

Try using some rubber shims, to find where it is bouncing at. I had the same problem and it was the latch.
