I have a 04 max and this crazy vibration sound the rear of the car. It sounds like it is metal vibrating against metal around the Bose speakers on the rear deck. I took apart the whole rear deck and could not find this noise. After putting it back together the noise turned into a deeper sounding noise and only does it with bigger bumps that I hit in the road. I can hear it sometimes with certain songs on when the bass hits hard enough. Anyone ever experienced this noise and did anyone find out what the heck it is? Any ideas???? All of the bolts, the speakers, amp, and all are tight and all clips are in place. Any feedback is helpful and grateful.



Thanks.

 

There is a TSB for that. Check the stickies.

Most of my rattle was coming from the rear brake light vibrating off the window...I used the soft side of velcro on the edges of the light and it's fine. I also stuffed towels in the opening where the brake light sits (in between the metal and rear deck.
I've had no problems for a long time.

 

Did u check for loose bolts that might of fallen into the subs? Check that first. Then try to see if the rear deck is actually loose. it could be a loose clip that hold the rear deck.

I have the same problem on my 04 Max Se. I stripped the whole rear deck and put sound deadening material on it and made sure all the clips hold the rear deck. Now there is no noise at all. It makes my JLW3 in a custom box sound like I have four 12s in the trunk. Let me know what is the outcome aight.

 

I had the same problem... Dealer had to take the whole backseat out to fix it, but they did fix it.

 

That's what I NEED to do

 

TSB otherwise some have stuffed socks under the brake light.
