Thanks dude. I actually just found your site about a week ago. I just wanted to know if that was the only/best solution to the problem. I'm probably going to do it your way in the end. Great site and car by the way. I just put in my PIAA Super Plasma fog lights today using your directions. Just one question though...is your girlfriend available to help me with the fix? j/k Thanks again.

Thanks man - Glad to hear the instructions helped. Yeah, you can go the inexpensive route and use a mattress pad from wally world for around 8 bucks. Many have claimed this fixed the rattle issue. I nearly went that route until I realized the rear deck continued to rattle without the cover installed at all. This told me sound deadener was the only real solution.

One more question though. Looking through Circuit City's site I was only able to find this one Tsunami Trunk Silencer Kit (link below). Was this the one you used? I'd rather not spend the $100 and then find out it's not what I need. Thanks in advance.

Actually, one of the boxes in that kit are what I used. You just want the door kit. I'm not sure if it's on the site, but it should be in the store.

That ***** too costly IMO for sound deadner. Contact Second Skin Rep on this site (or over at www.caraudioforum.com , thats were you'll usually find him) and get some prices from him, he usually gives forum members s good discount and his products are top notch. Im definetly satisfied with the STFU-80 I got and thats some thick ****.

Thanks man. I'll have to stop by there sometime tomorrow. How difficult will this fix be for me to do?

Looking through your site again now I think I'm going to use your tip on how to remove dealer stickers from the back of my trunk. Hope I don't ruin the paint while doing it.
