    as far as the doors go, take the door panels off and make sure the sound deadening is still properly hung and tighten down everything in there you can reach. take some foam and shave it to match your door panel to brace it so it can't possibly rattle. or you can use dynamat and use small pieces of foam to fill in areas that rattle.

    as far as the back bumper goes, is it the hatch rattling or are you absolutely sure it's the back bumper? if it's the bumper, there's not much that you could do other than custom make a bracket to support it, but that might crack it.

    yeah i think im gonna go buy some foam today and put it in the doors. i have some dynamat already in the door panels but i guess its not working. i got the hatch to stop rattling, its the bumper...its gonna be kinda hard to make a bracket for the back bumper because its molded on, so i guess i gotta try and figure something out.

    oh it's molded in? sorry i've never seen your car. i'm not sure there's much you could do.

    could it just be the license plate on back rattling?

    Do they still make that sound deadening foam that you spray into areas and it expands to fill all the empty space?

    they make Foam Fast which is a sealant. I suppose that could work if he can find some. but it's a pain in the ass to scrape off if you ever need to. we use that stuff to seal cracks in crates and stuff like a gasket to prevent it from coming apart and leaking hazardous fluids.
