Trunk rattle

[basshead8569]

So I have an 2003 ford focus se.

Now that black plastic piece with the ford logo in the middle and then the trunk lid brake light rattle. Is there a way to fix them from rattling with out using the foam stuff everyone keeps talking about? I was thinking on taking the brake light out and filling it in or findng a trunk lid that does now have that. Any suggestions on what I could do? Oh and the black emblem has blown off a few times now same thing with the focus emblem. The focus emblem is coming off here soon.

I used actual foam. Like seat foam.

Cut me some squares and super 77'd it to the plastic.

Pushes on the light enough to where it won't move.

I drive a different vehicle, but still an option.

Have had it on there for a few months now with no rattles from the tail light.

Now the trunk lid..... FUCK EM'

I put a new latch on for the trunk and the lid stop rattling. But now the other parts on the lid rattle. I will have to try that. I just dont want to use that spray on foam just incase I leave the brake light in and I have to change bulbs. I think I have some new foam left for when I helped a friend make custom seats. Could put it between the trunk lid supports and the back of the light/emblem. Should be able to squeeze it in there.

This stuff is the best, I use it to seal and stop rattles on everything.

for the light, silicone would be my choice. that or some closed cell foam. either way, take the light out and put the product between the light and the metal it mounts to.

for the other piece, panel bond. its made to bond metal to plastic with the strength of a weld.

I forgot about that bond stuff. Had a customer talking about it the other day too. Have to find somewhere that sells it now. Debating on that light. Think for the time being, I will use that silicone. Thanks for the info. Still after I do this I will get some seat foam that I have from a custom seat a friend did and put that on after the silicon dries.
