cheapest way would be to turn it down.

try lowering the latch....it makes it harder to close but should seal better.

I have used Edead products from Elemental Designs and haven't had any issues with them. I have heard nothing but bad things about using peal and seal from the hardware store

Don't' be cheap, if you can afford quality sound deaden materials then turn it down till you get enough money saved.

Their is no cheap way. The crap they sell at Lowes that is NOT MEANT for cars costs only a small amount less than the stuff you should be using.

Also if you use the cheap shit you risk never being able to use the better stuff properly.

Good chance the cheap stuff won't even make a difference and won't stop the rattling.

What the hell is "raddling?"

Peel and Seel from Home Depot and Lowe's works great on rattles but doesnt do much to keep noise out. 2 layers should quiet most annoying rattles.

if your talking about raTTling, then yeah, peel and seal might be your solution

I wouldn't do it on a expensive car though. Be sure to be the last owner

i'll also say peel and seal, just only use it for floors. it would always fall of any spots that opposed gravity when i used it (life the roof and trunk lid
