Simple, innane problem..

Nice.... good idea Ldub

I got a better idea-- remove your license plate entirely. Problem solved.

Using Ldubs' idea as an inspiration, I used thick felt stick on pads intended for use as furniture feet so they don't scratch wood floors. Worked perfectly.

Two where the screws attach the plate, two in the middle of the plate, evenly spaced, and a double layer on each of the bottom corners. Not a peep from the plate even at extreme volume. And you cant even tell they are there.

Riff, I have a practical suggestion for you. Remove your keyboard.

LOL, sorry but I'm using a 20" diagonal screen laptop with the keyboard permanently attached. So I guess you're just stuck with me.

you know.... for about $15 you can buy a piece of dynamat that is cut and designed to be placed behind a licence plate for that EXACT reason

thats what the stuff was made to do (stop rattling)

[Grif]

My entire vehicle is dynamatted, (well not the lic plate obviously). The felt pads were like 2 bucks and 3 mins of work.

Even tho the vehicle has been dynamatted, I'm still chasing down spurious rattles at certain low frequencies. Outside the vehicle, the most annoying rattle was the plate. Ive nailed that down, and am proceeding with generous applications of polyfill to quiet internal rattles. 4 lbs of poly just in the rear door so far.

This will be a search and destroy operation that will prolly take a me a week to perfect. Outside at full volume its damn quiet due to the dynamat. At moderate volume inside its awesome, but some bass drops rattle the inside and rattle my nerves. I need to find a place where I can spend half a day or so at high volume without bothering the neighbors. Armed with enough sticky foam tape, stickytar, and polyfill, It will get done eventually.

rubber grommets and blu tac simple as that!
