    you don't want glue, you want a soft padding, like foam. i use foam weatherstripping between the various surfaces. the third brake-light is a usual culprit also.



    have you been helped by me? i'd love to know. shoot me a PM.

    Get the 3/4" weatherstripping you can find at any hardware store. It has an adhesive on one side and is very good at blocking panel rattles.
