Gas lid rattling

I have some serious bass in the trunk, and it is rattling my gas lid, is there something simple I can do to it, to eliminate the rattle. Thanks Silver

This would be funny from anybody, but coming from one of the more helpful, thesaurus of corvette type members, it made me truly LOL.

i've had license plates and trunks rattle. you either have to stop the vibration (tighten stuff) or cushion it (when tightening doesn't make sense). in this case, check out the rubber stoppers, adjust if possible. or you could add some felt sticky pads (like for the bottom of chairs) between the rattling parts.

I know everyone is being funny about turn down the base (and it is funny, and a legit answer to the question), but in reality, it doesn't take a lot of volume at some frequencies to make stuff rattle.

And turning it down is no fun
