7)Optional 2: While you have the rear deck cover off, you may want to do some sound deadening over the entire rear deck. Search the forum for “sound deadening”, “dynamat”, and “fatmat” for threads on this. But in particular, the third brake light is a notorious rattle on this car. Thanks to Rogue for the heads up on this. To remove it:
a) Remove the electrical plug from the rear of the light.
b) The light housing is secured by two Phillips screws that can also be removed with a 7mm socket. After removing the screws, pry up on the legs gently to release the two locator pins which are next to each of the screw holes. The light is then easily removed. (picture 19)
c) The actual source of the rattle is inside the light. Remove the red cover by unsnapping it. Gently shake the light and it will be immediately noticeably that metal pieces under the LED’s are rattling against the board below it. Tiny dabs of silicon helped secure these metal pieces against the plastic housing and eliminated the rattle. (picture 20, 21)
