Brian, from the video it seems like you have no snow in your area!!! What’s
up with that? Can you ski?. I know you are busy and I may not get an
answer, that would be ok. So here it is….2003 Saab 93, intermittent no
charge situation, threw a battery and new alternator at it and still the
problem comes and goes, makes the car not trustworthy. Any clue as to this
head banger? Thanks and please keep the vids coming, They go well with my
Sunday coffee.
I got SOO tired of my WRX rattling from all over (it rattled from new) that
I gave up finding all of them. You will never find all of the rattles.
Ever. Remember, the WRX is based on a cheap econobox. Eventually I replaced
it with a fast BMW. The BMW is fast, quiet, and a sleeper. Someone will be
very surprised when they take off the door panels of my old WRX and find
all of the dynamat!
How do you know so much about cars? Did you go to a mechanic school or
something? By the way, by watching this i fixed most of the rattles in my
Dodge thanks! :)
That double sided tape is used to do arts and crafts, and is available in a
roll, much cheaper than the hollywood tape. Lasts for a lot of cars as
well. The thick door and speaker tape is a good thing as well, you can get
sheets of it as sound deadening foamfor cars, cheap and you can cut big odd
shapes out of it.
It’s funny how all of this works. You’re 2,000 miles from me but somehow,
watching your videos, I’ve come to count you as an old friend. Every time I
send a link to your site to someone, I hear back… “He really knows what
he’s doing and what a nice guy.”
That’s unique on the Internet in my experience.
So, if you ever get “back east” (laughed when a commenter here thought you
were in Connecticut), please stop by and I’ll take you out for a cruise in
the ocean on my old boat. I think you’d like it.
I like how the story unfolded. Great turnaround when you found out that the
“defrost bezel” was only a part of the problem. From then it was like
“Inception”.. rattling inside rattling element :D
Oh man, some nice little finds there! Excuse me while I raid that little
list you posted with the video~
About two years ago, I got so fed up with all the rattles in my car, I
stripped the entire interior down to bare metal–even the airbags and HVAC
pods came out–and dynamatted every…single…surface… Any metal
bracing that was removable came out and got coated in rubberized sound
deadener. Every crevice and cavity got filled with pliable spray foam
(protip: Don’t use AB foam or prepackaged equivalents; it’s too hard). The
insides of plastic panels and trim pieces got sprayed with sound deadener,
too. It was a month-long project, but the car is almost as quiet as a
Rolls Royce! The window glass passes more road noise through than anything
else. …Need to figure out how to laminate that, now…
What really amazed me is how much rattling can “affect” ride quality. Not
having the entire interior clacking and crackling about, you don’t even
notice the little bumps and jars that you once could. Our brains are funny
things…
Your videos are awesome. Simple, to the point and very informative. You
have the tools (which you always tell us how to get) and knowledge to make
the job as simple as possible. I can tell you put a lot of effort into
them. I don’t work on cars really but I know for a fact you help people
that do a ton. Keep the vids coming.
Thank you too! I enjoy all of your videos. Even though I have been working
on cars for 20 years, I still like getting other people’s perspective on
repair approaches. Also, Your positive attitude is inspirational to others.
Everyone’s circumstances could always be worse and could always be better,
finding peace and gratitude in one’s present is key to happiness, thanks
for inspiring others to enjoy life as well as empowering people with
knoweledge.
Thank you for taking the time out to film and edit your videos and that
takes up most of your time. You have such great content.
Keep up the great work!
Aloha and take care
Man i have a cfeak in my dash. 08 fusion i know where it is its on right

grill cover and where the dash begins theres nothing under the dash to may

it when its hot it dont make any noise any idears out there..
Dude! I don’t even want to know how you discovered that Hollywood tape. 3m
makes a double sided foam tape that is about 1/16″ thick. Thanks for your
videos.
As a fellow citizen of Utah I am glad you do these videos. It gives me and
I’m sure others the confidence to fix vehicle for family and friends. Not
to mention the over all good info you provide. Thanks!

I want you to de-rattle my car lol
I just ran straight pipes when I got fed up with interior rattles, now I
cant hear a thing :D
Professional and hobbyist sound system installers! Heed!
With the Dodge Ram dashes a lot of the rattles are from the dry
rotted,busted plastic pieces behind the dash,or the dash itself…
