Vibration rectification

[berad]

Anyone got a VT-VX commodore and suffering/suffered an increased rattle of your parcel shelf and surrounding loose componants?

I have had 3 powerful 10" subs smashing the crap out of my boot for near on two years now and i can hear my parcel shelf over most of the bass intensive music i listen too. Anyone acheived any form of rectification for this issue? if so, how?

Yours must be fairly flogged if its vibrating as a result of engine movement =\

I just lined the underneath with foam so it was pressed up hard and then the parcel shelf rattled against the window... Jammed something between the window and parcel shelf and it was pretty quit for a few years and then my rear window tail light started rattling... Couldn't work out how to fix that

yeaaah i have been
but can it be fixed

sound proof your parcel shelf with stinger road kill.

It's called sound deadening not sound proofing, as an installer you should know that... And sheet type deadener doesn't stop the cardboard/carpet shelf from rattling against the metal and the glass which is the major rattle in the parcel shelf of a VT/VX.

where do i get this from

[berad]

Any good car audio shop will sell Stinger products.

If its the same as Dynamat it might be cheaper to go for that.

Yep same problem here, the carpet on the parcel tray was banging against the back windscreen, I was lazy and found the closest things that I could jam in there to shut them up, first thought was my mum stupid dog, but she didn't like that idea, so now I have 4 spare link pin bushes jammed in there.

Dynamat Extreme or Stinger Roadkill... But they won't fix rattles. They're deadeners which are meant to add weight to panels to reduce the resonant frequency of those panels.

All you need is to stop rattles... Foam or rubber bits stuck between the two items rattling is the way to fix rattles.

Spoiler would rattle more than anything and they look gay on VTs

Yeah i thought this was the case, ive already started my massive journey by applying a bead of silicone to the edge of my interior light and letting it dry, might tackle the rear end areas this weekend.
