Third brake light rattle - Honda Prelude Forum

son2kel · 08-26-2010, 05:00 AM

can't get into the entertainment section so i'm posting this here.

My Subwoofer rattles my car quite bit. i've taken care of the rattles from the trunk and the rear deck, but now the third brake light rattles like crazy against the window one some tones.
Any suggestions to how you've eliminated this rattle? i've already searched around and i've found things about 5th gens, but i've got a 4th gen...92 Si to be specific.
any help is much appreciated

Why don't you try shaving or sanding down the break light where it is nearest to the window. That way there's more space inbetween the light and the window and could possibly eliminate the rattle. Just a thought.

i took off the rubber edge on the light and it gave it more room but made it sound way worse.

im thinkin i might try some of that velcro(soft side not clingy side) with the sticky back cut into thin strips to try and muffle it. just don't know how it'll look and if the adhesive will hold up to sunlight.

the velcro strips fixed the rattle pretty nicely and it looks pretty clean. seams as though every time fix a rattle another even more annoying one pops up.... onto eliminating the rattles in the rear pillar trims

I would take the lamp down and put foam tape around the edge, trim it up, and reinstall the lamp. Should take care of it no problem.
