Trunk Supports

Does anyone else have a lot of rattle from the trunk support bars when you drive?
I keep the back seat down to allow the bass to sound better and I hear all the rattle from the crossbars that keep the trunk open.
Has anyone else had this????
Any Cure??????

in my 2k max i used to have it.. drove me insane.. i crawled in the trunk and had my buddy keep opening and closing it so i could pinpoint it eaisly.. turned out to be the 2 bars that criss cross..i used duct tape and held them together and just taped the crap out of them and it shut them up for good.. give it a shot...dont have that prob on my 2k2 though.. weird

I went to home depot and picked up some cheep grey foam pipe insulator which I used to wrap and zip tie them. A lot noise was eliminated. The trick is finding the right size pipe insulator.

i fixed it pretty easy. my dad had like 3 millimeter styrofoam laying around, so i wrappeed them with it, ziptied it. looked pretty ****ty, so then i went to ace and got some of that black pipe foam that has a cut down one side and put it over the other foam. all fixed!

i bought two muffler hangers from autozone, cut 'em from both ends and stuck 'em between the bars, never heard the noise again till this day, its been over three months and the noise drove me insane.
