Your mthods of fixing rattles?

[swiftymcfeat]

Hey there everyone....

Its getting closer to the weekend where i must pull the old vn apart and install my new sound system properly....

While im doing this, i want to remove as many rattles as i can... In saying this, ive created this thread to ask all of you what your methods of doing this are? Firstly, when i say rattles, i mean the ones i constantly hear when i hit a small rock (being that my car is lowered with 20s and i feel anything).... I do not mind the bumpy ride, but i cant stand the car rattling throughout.... The parcel shelf and dash are the worst parts...

Some ideas i have come up with so far are:
- Take everything apart
- Line joints with self adhesive foam tape
- Tighten all screws
- Make sure all wires are tied down and cushioned properly (VK_3800)
- Stuff such as masking tape, blue tac, cable ties and foam (50LTRv8)

Please add anything!

Thanks

A lot of dash rattles (aside from loose/broken plastic panels etc) come from wiring that's been removed and not replaced properly - make sure its well tied down with suitable cushioning insulation to stop squeaks

A swift punch to the dash usually fixes rattles for me.

Im almost certain those last 2 options would create more rattles? But heh, prove me wrong lol

dead blow hammer fixes all, where it fails, use duct tape.

It wouldn't be a commodore if it didn't have a rattly piece of shit for an interior.

Crank up the sound system

Crank up the sound system

That one works for the inside of the car but people outside can only hear the number plate rattling
