On my old cavalier I just bent all of them away from whatever they were hitting.

haha...i have this exact problem and I need to fix it soon...it rattles usually in between 2100-2500rpm...kinda annoying

yeah mine would rattle at 2k rpm real bad, and anything below 30 hz it sounded like rocks in a can

well i saw a video on youtube where a guy used i think secondskin sludge or something and it was solid after that, though the video doesn't show him put it back on just drop it b4 and after he applied it. So, far lucky i don't have that problem

Mine were so bad that they fell off and were resting on my exhaust pipe. They would rattle everytime I came to a stop. Not anymore...
