Default Rattling Bose emblem

Well, have this annoying Bose emblem on the front speaker grilles that rattles everytime I crank up the radio. Went and check and the front pins that hold them in place were well pretty much broken off, one actually broke off when I was removing the emblem. Most likely when I changed my door panels from black to gray. Luckily, I had 2 Corvette emblem that I had installed outside the car for about 2 maybe 3 years now. Removed them and replaced the Bose emblem with these. Got them from ebay but the vendor is no longer a vendor. installed them with double sided tape.

I used automotive attachment tape on one of mine, the emblem is still on but I am on my third set of speakers.Guess I should turn it down a notch or two.

Thats a great solution to the problem

Theres a TSB out for the original problem if anyone else suffers from it. Mind you it's no better than your solution

Well, I guess there are multiple causes for the rattle. Mine though I noticed where the Bose emblem which was mentioned. So rattle on the speakers, rattle on the exhaust and a rattle on seat tracks. There are a lot of rattle causes on the C5. But I still love the car It is really like a woman then -it has it's faults but you love them anyways Ow -my wife just knocked my head
