AWeb80 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I had a bad rattle in the trunk and I thought it might be my spoiler...... So I took it off and sure enough the rubber separating the nuts on the bottom is rotted and GONE.... .....and the rubber pad underneath the "legs" on teh spoiler are disintegrated too.... I think the rattling is coming from the plastic vibrating on the metal trunk lid..... What should I look for to replace that?.....I have some old rubber inner-tube and as a last resort, going to cut it to fit....but it is a tad too thick...any other ideas of what to use?

runt Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Get some 1/16" thick rubber to put under there and cut it to size. That should be more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 just get a razor blade and slice a few appropriately sized pieces out of your neighbor's sidewalls. should last a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 lol....I have access to plenty of used inner tube....I just want something a tad thinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Get some 1/16" thick rubber to put under there and cut it to size. That should be more than enough. ya,....but where to get it? You can get some gasket material like that at any auto parts store I would assume. Then just cut it to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'll see if I have anything here (at work) that would suit. Then I'll stick it in an envelope and send it. But...give me a day or two I'm sure busy here right now....although that might be hard to believe because I'm posting, but it is break time...so I have 10 minutes...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mra32 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Sticking with the inner tube theme... why dont you use a smaller area of the inner tube, so it will compress more, if youre worried about it being too thick. Those things also have thick and thin spots, so try cutting it all apart and seeing if you can get something to suit your needs. And if youre into going out and buying an inner tube, they have thin ones for racing ~$5 What else could you use? -CONDOM (this is my favorite idea) -Paper -Coat your trunk with wax or some other release agent and CAREFULLY put down some clear silicone caulk -Elecrtical Tape cut carefully and placed on the spoiler, maybe a few layers -Foamtastic -- pick it up at any arts & crafts stores. While youre there, see what other foam there is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
