If you want your rear view to stop rattling so much turn the volume down...DUH

Try loostening (sp?) the mirror screw and see if it makes a diff

Wouldnt you figure loosening it would make it buzz/rattle though?

Instead of MDF rings, would it be okay to clay the hard plastic spacers( from Metra)? Where did you guys buy your MDFs at? Home Depot?

Plastic is going to tend to resonate much more than MDF or baltic birch ply...

most likely will it come in ring forms or do I have to cut them out?

You will have to cut them out... I always tend to use a router, but I have seen in done with a jigsaw before...

I will be completing this task very very shortly, well, actually probably closer to the spring. Working out in the open without a garage is not fun.

I don't understand what you're saying, MDF is a specific kind of wood, medium density fiberboard.

question: After taking out the stock rings and putting mdf rings in with the clay and deadner and all. Did all of your guys' installs still have enough space for you to put the door panel on and still making it look stock? if not then what did you do?

That's going to depend on how much clearance you have...

In my door, I've got .75" of clearance from the metal panel to the door, so when I install 1/2" rings, I'll have enough clearance behind it.

well from the metal plate to the window (closed) is about an inch and mabye another .5 inches to go but i have about a 3 inch deep speaker. i was thinking in putting in fiberglass pods. RwaR!

Well if you only have 1.5 deep and a 3 deep speaker you would have to put in pods...unless you have enough clearance from metal panel to plastic panel to add 1.5 inches of mdf.
