    Simple, innane problem..

    I know its a stupid question, and the fixes would be quite simple, but I'm looking for a most stylish/stealthy way to prevent my lic plate from rattling like crazy since installing a 12inch sub enclosure in my rear door spare compartment.

    Surely you creative types here have done similar or may have some inspiring suggestions.

    Thanks folx!

    the thick double sided adhesive tape. Its cheap and easy, just stick it on the parts of the license that make contact with the VX and then make sure the screws are really tight

    There's probably a billion other things that will work the same way

    I had thought of that, but having a time finding sticky foam tape thick enough without making it stick out like sore thumb. Was pondering thick rubber grommets where the screws fasten the top of the plate and foam rubber tape to fasten the bottom. Or better yet, some sort of thick foam/rubber plate frame that would dampen the entire plate. I have yet to see such an item however. Perhaps manufacture one myself?

    Yeah get a rubber mat from an art supply shop, home depot, etc and cut it to fit behind the license plate. I'm sure if you go to a store you will find something that will work

    I got a better idea-- remove your license plate entirely. Problem solved.
