Recommended Posts

Has anyone else here had an issue with the rear window and or mouling vibrating and making alot of noise? If so how did you rectify the issue?

My Acura's moved, but I just let it go. I'm guessing its the exterior thats make the ton of noise, correct?

Mine does it a bit, squeaks in turns when it's cold and the subs aren't thumping.

With bass, it's almost impossible because it is omidirectional. Once you put enough db on bass, it will move through the thin stuff like that. You would have to add a ton of extra weight to your car by putting in thicker glass that wouldn't vibrate as much.

 

Glass is not a solid (contrary to popular belief). It has similar properties to wax as both are amorphus substances. They flow, although they hold their shape. If you were to look at window panes that have been sitting in the frame for some 100 years, you would be able to see that the window is thicker on the bottom than on the top. Due to this property, they easily transfer sound. plexiglas is actually better to use because it is not amorphus. The only problem is that in winter, you get something that strikes it decently and it shatters like a thin pane of glass. You would have to have it 2x as thick just to get the same temper out of it as the tempered glass.

 

Sorry bout this, I am a scientist and get carried away sometimes.

I'm thinking tons of extra dynamat surrounding the window could help solve this

Yeah the best I can think of is more Dynamat on the rear deck and top of the trunk... other than that get used to it...
