Re: Aggravating rattle NEED HELP

["D.J. Bergesen" <achtungvr6@hotmail.com>]

Thanks, KK,
been there done that. I found that problem awhile ago, and I did the 
hide-a-belt action. Never more than four in there, anyway, so no sweat...

This one seems higher up, though. I put some foam stuff between the deck and 
metal underneath (by squeezing it in from the trunk side), although it 
doesn't seem all that successful. I may have to remove my bumper cover to 
put the foam insert back in - removed four months ago, but never a noise 
problem - until now. Any other suggestions are welcome...
