Question about aftermarket spoilers and rattling

[JCivicHb 10+ year member]

i have a civic hatchback, and was looking to add an aftermarket spoiler on the back. My only concern is that it will rattle. the stock one already rattles but i dont think i would be able to install the aftermarket spoiler as securely as the stock. Anyone have any experiences with this??? thanks

Simple way to fix it (that I have read) is to add little rubber washers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

the type r spoiler for my exact style car. You can see how i am worried about rattling as my subs are pointed up in the trunk, aiming right at spoiler.

who cares...either sound deaden your car as best you can or just deal with the fact that your car has some badass sub bass and rattles just like every other car....look at my sig!!! i have no spoiler and i rattle nonstop...its no big deal, but sound deadening your car will alleviate some of your problems as best as they can....use some washers as someone else said

well my car is already FULLY deadened everywhere, but there is no way to deaden a glass hatch with a spoiler on top. maybe you have to be familiar with the car but anyone who has seen the trunk popped on one will know. You cant deaden by the spoiler, maybe the washers will work, thanks
