How to stop spoiler from rattling?

Hi guys,
I just installed a small 10" sub the other day, but its really getting on my nerves that my spoiler makes a disgusting vibration sound.
Is there any way i could place something to cut down on that vibration?
thanks for your input

there's nothing else i could do like placing rubber inserts in between the spoiler and the trunk or something like that?

Maybe a stupid question, and I don't even have a subwoofer, but did you try tightening the bolts that mount the spoiler to the trunk lid?

Could actually be loose where the vertical supports meet the spoiler itself. See if you can't check that out. (Or is it all once piece?)

Well, i checked out what you guys said, and the spoiler is one piece, and it is held firmly, taking it off is not an option, i like the looks of it,

so i guess i'll put some edead or something and then just get over it since there's nothing else i can do
