    Youll also find that the clips behind the panels to the left and right of the rear seat can rattle. If you are getting enough vibration through the speakers, it may cause this issue as well.

      Have a look at the muffler Shield underneath the car, its directly underneath the boot and ontop of muffler.

      That's where a lot of it comes from.

      huh? ...
      okay i shall do those things too. Do you think it would be silly to take off the back side plastic panels and put foam or something behind them? Or would that be a waste of time?

      Could? Is! Look at where they are resting when not clipped. They rest on the rear side plastic panels. Turn the bass up and the things are loud!
