this is a long shot as it could be anything.......but when i have my system on loud i get a rattle on the outside of the car, from the bass vibrating everything! its like the noise you get when you shake a spray can which is odd! its coming from the rear bumper......and i cant take it of as the bolts are rounded off and siezed. Any ideas what may be rattlie from your past experiences.......... cheers

The plastic surround above the rear screen rattles on mine with the bass, as does the glass and the windscreen wiper

Best bet is to start pressing on seperate bits while you hav ethe bass pumping - once the rattle stops or changes frequency then you know that your hand is touching the offending article

Now now - that's enough of your lip, my lad !!! If I've told you once, I've told you a million times not to exagerate ... (tu tu tu - the youth of today .... )

Anyway, one good way to reduce the rattles is to fit some absorbant materials in your car - I find 15 square meters of turf works really well .....
