Parcel shelf rattling

[Hazza]

After putting 6x9s into my parcel shelf.... i've noticed that when i drive over speed bumps, i can see in the rear mirror that the shelf itself, jumps up and down at the back, how can i stop this from happening??

you need to put a bead of silicone or sticky tape on the sides of the parcel shelf where it rests. wont stop it jumping but cushions it so it doesnt rattle as much

oooo, what do u recommend me to use middo?

when i had a sub in my punto sporting it made the shelf rattle so i used some foam tape that was only sticky on the one side. that seemed to do a good job tbh

And i can get foam tape from..

i got mine from homebase, but seeing as i work there not sure if they still sell it. otherwise i know B&Q sell single sided self adhesive felt pads you could cut to size.

Brilliant! thanks for the advice middo, i'll give it a go!

Sticking some thick foam rubber to the hatch so it holds it in place works. Mine was jumping around even with no speakers in it.

Mines laid in the boot it rattles from just my exhaust.
