Anyone remember the site to that Maxima that has a how to regarding the subwoofer fix?

 

Are you refering to the rattle?

It is in the How-to stiky on the 5th gen page. Here is a link

I used dynamat around the sub and put foam inside the white seatbelt holders. It helped a lot, but my rattle has since returned

 

Not on the link. I know how to fix it, but just need to know how to go about removing the rear deck.

 

Ahhh.... Well it's sort of a PITA, but lets see if I can remember.

First you need to remove the lower cushon of the rear seat. There are two pull tabs under each side of the cushon to release it. Then remove the side bolsters by removing one bolt and sliding up (I think). Thake off the C-pillar covers, they just pop off like most trim pieces. Also take off the Sub cover if you already haven't.

I cant remember if the rear shelf is actually bolted down, but there are a couple of pieces on either side which just slid out of the way (can't remember what is under them, but I think they needed to be removed). Then I believe it's just a matter of finding where the shelf is geld down by clips and pulling them up.

I also removed the rear sun shade to put down the dynamat, but I think that was just a matter of a couple of bolts.

I hope this rambling has given you some sort of direction, but just take it slow and Im sure you will be able to figure it out. I didn't follow any sort of write-up when I did it. I just sort of found what needed to be removed along the way (it was a lot more than expected, but not hard)

 

How is the sub cover held on? Does it just snap off?

 

Yeah, just pop it off.

P.S. None of the sub fixes I tried ever worked. Only after I removed the bose sub did my rattles ever go away.

 

I don't remember if I30's have a third brakelight on the rear shelf but that was the only source of rattling in my other car. All I did was put down a piece of foam where the base of the brakelight touches the rear deck and that pressed it firmly against the rear windshield.
