"Annoying rattle in the back"... fixed? Dynamat...
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=199139
A year and 2 months ago, I came to you guys for help.
I was laying in the back, cleaning the rear window and started knocking on panels to satiate my curiousity. The center of the large rear panel made a very loud, obnoxious noise. Yuck!
I finally THINK I've got it. I pulled the rear panel out and packed it w/ Dynamat Xtreme. The stuff is expensive, but very easy to use. I drove the car around a bit, and think the noise is gone. The panel still has a bit of noise, but nowhere near as obnoxious as before. We'll see how it goes...

PS It took me a 1 1/6 years to fix the rattle I was complaining about.
PPS It took me 1 1/2 years to fix the left front headlight. I called the actuator seal the "thing that always goes bad" when I first learned about it.
PPPS I love this forum. :)

Ohhhh - It's so rewarding to watch the kids grow up and learn for themselves. :lol: :lol:
Good job Steve. These little annoying things are most often left 'til you 'have time'.
Congrats, as the post you are making lately are very informative and show
a true love for the hobby. We could certainly use more youngsters like
yourself to keep the flame burning. Ok - enough sentimental crap.
Now go clean your room !! :jester
PS - You ARE the forum. Now, stop loving yourself so much !! :lolg: :lolg:

Re: (MNJack)
Installing a nice set of subwoofers probably would have worked just as well!
I've got my fingers crossed for this one...
NHvette- I hardly feel like I'm contributing anything. I've learned 10,000x times as much as I've put back. :) At least I know a little bit about the headlight vac sys that has so many people cringing. I guess that's a start...
Stop loving myself? :smash: Uh oh...

What is the difference between Dynamat Xtreme and the Extreme Liner?
