Odd my tailgate doesnt rattle at all...do you have the 8" B&O or aftermarket sub?I'm out of the loop on this, so not sure if you all have figured out this rattle source, but this is my biggest source of rattle, which I just fixed with some weather strip foam tape:
My next rattle is the rear side panels, I may look into a quick fix before I do a full sound-deadening install on them. The passenger side really rattles with the sub.
I already put the drivers side panel back on, but I still have the passenger's side off, going to put one or two sheets of killmat to it to see if it'll absorb more noise/vibration from the seatbelt. Will probably try and do that tomorrow, and post pics.
Lux package so B&O for me.
Some of us hate rattles. The panels come off pretty easily too, even without breaking anything when you know which way they come off. Luckily there are videos out there where you can see someone else's successes or mistakes so you know before you start.
couldnt tell from the pictures. When i pulled mine i went crazy, i went up where you didnt, inside and everywhere because, who wants to rip back into something.I didn’t at first. But when I started working on the seatbelt I figured what the hell might as well pull it out and add as much as I can behind it. I think I added about two sheets worth of Killmat back there.
Take some fine sandpaper and sand where the camp attaches. Whatever Ford did to these panels makes 3M VHB tape not stick. Probably some type of hydrophobic surface coating.
Beautiful job, I can only marvel at the degree of OCD. Hushmat tape over the white two-part panel clips? That is next level man
Yea the roller is a must, i tried using my fingers and there's no way I could have done this project without the roller, my fingers woulda been hurting for weeks!
Yea I was putting that tape on any and everything that could possibly vibrate, didn't wanna have to take these panels off multiple times trying to chase rattles.Beautiful job, I can only marvel at the degree of OCD. Hushmat tape over the white two-part panel clips? That is next level man
I am considering doing something like this when I do the rear sub undelete next week but still debating whether the hassle is worth it. I am mostly after road noise reduction and wish so badly that someone who did this would post before and after dB readings.
Will be collecting dB readings on the way to/from work this entire week as "before". Will do the same "after". I suspect that the effect will be negligible but as long as I have pulled out all this plastic I might was well go for it. I only hope I can put it back together without adding more rattling.
