Dynamat. Adds weight though.

use dynamat extreme, the most expensive version, you don't have to cover it all, i think you only need like 50% or so surface area covered to deaden the rattle

with my 95 maxima i still get rattle because where the letters are at, its so thin and week that the air the woofer blows just pushes the trunk in and out

there is no way to stop that, thats the price we pay for having a light car with a quick engine

i put it in my front doors too, it improves sound quality

to play devil's advocate: from previous researches done by some parties, it seems like dynamat wears out in fist 6-9 months by about 60%.

i also have seen people use peal-n-seal, which works just as fine but costs less.

i'd recommend second skin...i heard their's is far superior to dynamat in the sense that one layer of second skin performs as well as multiple layers of the xtreme. the company's called second skin audio just look for it sorry no link. i'm thinkin about doin my whole cabin.

I used Dynamat extreme on the trunk lid only applied with a heat gun. Its been on there for about 2 years now and it still sounds great!!
