Hard to fix rattles - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

qoncept · 07-16-2013, 01:01 PM

I've been trying to identify a few rattles in my car and I think I've found the worst of them, but have no idea how to fix. Any tips would be great.

1- Rear view mirror is vibrating from my sub. It's a Homelink mirror.

2- The window and lock switches buzz, and these are actually coming from the door speakers, not sub. And they're really bad at certain frequencies. What can I do?

I would put it on the dealership to resolve the problem. That would be covered under your warranty.

I have the HomeLink mirror and it does not rattle from my sub so I would go to the dealer regarding that.

I put Dynamat in the doors the other day and it makes so much difference I can't even express in words. The doors are surprisingly easy to remove for this car but I did throw away the original plastic covering all the wires.

Dynamat was $150 shipped to me - [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Dynamat-10455-Self-Adhesive-Deadener-Xtreme/dp/B00020CB2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374005280&sr=8-1&keywords=dynamat"]Dynamat 10455 18" x 32" x 0.067" Thick Self-Adhesive Sound Deadener with Xtreme Bulk Pack, (Set of 9) : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame]

Pretty much find the source of the sound and deaden it.

I think the frame around the mirror is what's rattling so I'll pull it apart and check that. But how do you deaden a switch rattle?

Are the doors the only place you installed the Dynamat? I'm thinking if just the doors is enough or if I should do the trunk too.
