    Rear speakers

    Is there any way you can tighten up tye rear deck speakers? My subs rattle the shit out of them. Ive tried to just turn them as tight as i can but they are still loose

    You should just remove them, if you get quality front and rear door speakers you wont need them. plus you'll get much more bass in the car because they will act like air ports.

    What is happening is your subwoofer is pushing sir up against your rear speakers and have caused them to probably already rip which it causing the rattle.

    Polly fill ill have to check that out I'm having similar issues just the rattle on the 3rd brake light is my main issue how would you go about fixing that? I haven't really messed with it yet I hear the plastic on the 3rd brake light can get very brittle.

    Maybe applying some hot glue and shoving the 3rd lamp back in before it dries so it removes any play within the housing?

    Cotton balls between the front and back pieces where they connect on top did the trick for the third brake light.

    I'm not gonna hush down with this kind of posting. Cotton balls?? when do you ever use a cotton ball in your car? Maybe a Q-tips may work.

    I am new to your club most interesting, likewise I don't think cotton around lights is a good thing. If your putting a loud system in a 202 why not change the third brake light to an LED strip high on the rear window looks good. My opinion for what it's wurth
