Mine rattled alot as well. I did something which I beleive no one else has done. I went to Home Depot and purchased a can of spray foam insulation. I removed the rear speaker and seatbelts and sprayed inside. Once it dry the rattle was gone.

There is a how-to on this website:

They pretty much did the same thing.

that's what he said he already did twice and it didn't work for him.

what you need to do is look at page 15 of issue 2 under interior on this page. i plan on doing this as soon as the weather gets warmer because my rattle seems to be back with the cold weather. not nearly as bad as it has been though.

for those people who did the foam. do you have pics of where you sprayed it. i may be interested in doing something like that this spring as well. and also, how important is it to tighten the seatbelt housing based on the facroty torque specs?

everything rattles much more when it's cold. even stuff that doesn't do so at all during the summer, rattles during the winter.

if he's using the foam i think he's using then once the foam dries it solidifies and becomes hard. he probably sprayed it inside the rear deck which is pretty much hollow.

be careful just spraying it in there. I made that mistake and it went through all the holes and gaps in the bottom and got all over everything. it was a pain in the ***
