Trying to stop all vibrations - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #42103 8 posts Started by Mystify.
I've pretty much taken car of all the vibrating parts on my car except for one piece. It's that part around the license plate (see picture if you can't figure out what I'm talking about). Does anybody know how to remove this piece?

you could put some clear silicon in all the gaps and dynamat on the inner trunk wall...
sooo did that stop the rattles? cause i kind of have a hatred for rattles. ill be dynamating my car in a week or so but i dont know if thats enough.
You have to remove tail lights first. There are 3 screws each tail light from inside. Take those off and everything else is easy. Couple screws and just pop the licence piece out. Off course remove the licence plate first.... Hope it helps

what i did, was bought some foam, and glued it to the plate, (it'd come off trust me) That way its atleast not hitting metal on metal, why you trying to decrease vibrations? trying to raise SPL for subs? e.Dead is supposed to be amazing for that if you are
I used dynomat under the part where the plate mounts. Worked really well when I use to run SPl contest.
Sorry I came on so late. I went out last night and totally forgot I made this thread. laugh.gif

I've already put sound deadener all over the trunk and that didn't fix it. It's just coming from that one plastic piece on the outside.

Oh trust me, it's not the actual license plate (I have 3 layers of sound deadening on that wink.gif ), it's that plastic piece around it. I'm mostly doing it for SQ/SPL, I already have most of my car matted up.

Dynamat your car, trust me it will improve the sound of your speakers. The main parts you want to put the sound deadener are in the trunk and in your door panels. Since you probably won't get rid of all the rattle on the first application, I would suggest you order a little extra just in case.

I HATE rattles... I'd rather take a panel out than have it rattle.
