Hey guys
So I finally got back my car after 3.5 weeks of repair at the bodyshop. It went by very slow, but im happy i finally got the car back. When I listen to loud music (have a sub in the trunk), there is only one noticable rattle... and thats with the fuel tank door. Everytime the sub kicks, the fuel door shakes out, causing a very annoying noise when listening to it outside. When i put my hand on the door and push inwards, the noise is gone. Do you guys have any possible idea at what I could do to fix this?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

Nothing to do with the fuel door... got into a wreck in the front (i have a previous thread with pictures)... its been there before the crash, i just never thought it was such a big deal.
Now i really want to remove it somehow

i have the same problem, if you look at it, the door is held closed with a pin that goes into a much larger slot when its closed. Therefore leaving alot of room around that pin, so it rattles and hits the sides of the larger hole, only thing i could tell you is to try and fill half of that hole with somthing rubber, or just cover the outsides of the larger slot/hole so it hits somthing soft rather than the plastic on plastic.
just take a look at it, you'll understand when you see it

I believe the problem lies with the pin not securing the fuel door as much as is required.

yea you coudl try to get a small thing of dynomat, and try lining the hole, so it rattles agienst a cushion, instead of the plastic, ORRR, try to find somthign with a sticky side and a soft side so u could line the hole with that.
Just a few ideas.
I know its the hole, its not the door itself, lol. soo annoying
