Default Rear deck speaker rattle.........

I recently installed a sub in my car and now the rear speakers have started to rattle like crazy. I think the problem is the plastic speaker covers on the rear deck but I'm not sure. Does anyone know how to remove those covers? Any other ideas about what be making the rattle? Thanks.

Default IF the rear speaker covers are removeable

you'll have to remove the rear decklid. It's easy to do. Unplug the 3rd brake light, fold rear seat down, facing the decklid, unsnap the decklid that's facing towards you (the part that's covered by the seat. Now you can lift up and unsnap some more clips and slide it towards you.

Default I have the same issue and the rattle is coming from the brake light plastic cover hitting the window

Put some type of foam (black hopefully) between the plastic light shield and the rear window and that should solve your problem. Good Luck
