Please help!!
iv got a 12" audiobhan sub in the boot but as soon as you give it any noise - when i stand outside the car the boot sounds like its going to break from the rattle!!
went to my local audio place and he told me its common in E36's - something to do with the number plate fixings and the tail light fixings! but would cost me £150 to sort!!! far too much -
Anyone any suggestions or experiencing the same problem>??? |  |  | | 10-08-2005, 08:02 PM | #2 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |
not sure about the taillights, but i mounted my license plate with rubber bushings (not for the issue of bass rattling it, but to push the plate away from the car to avoid rubbing and/or rusting issues). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

I dont know if you can do this with the ti or not but my old Acura all I did was lower the latch for the hatch so that it was harder to shut. I dont know if you can do that with the ti. The latch had room to slide up and down after it was loosened up on the Acura. I made the hatch seal much better and got rid of a lot of rattle. | | | | | 10-13-2005, 02:57 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Concord Posts: 326 |

The rubber bumper pads on either side of the hatch screw in/out for a little adjustability. I don't think the latch adjusts but I could be wrong. __________________
