Spare tire rattle - mysterious
if you have a rattle and it is NOT the spare tire....... check this
i took the spare tire and tools/jack out and it rattled for a week..... so i looked again and it turns out a black plastic piece that i believe is holding the amp for the speakers is rattling..... heres what i did
took the bottom bolt out of the triangular shaped plastic piece(black) and pushed it behind the metal fender well so the tab on the plastic piece is behind the fender well..... then bolted it back in and NO MORE RATTLE...... this is only temporary however
if you over tighten like I did the plastic tab that is spacing the triangular piece will break. i heard my snap while i was driving and i can now hear it rattle slightly every once in a while
-the best way to fix this would be to put washers between the triangular plastic piece and the fender well. here are some pictures. sorry about the quality cell phone
