Already put weather stripping for doors on my license plate to reduce some rattling. Went out and bought a can of Great Stuff and I'm not entirely sure where I should apply it in my trunk. Where do you suggest putting it at? |

Careful here using that. That stuff is very hard to remove if and when you intend to. If you inject it into body cavities consider it permanent.
Have you considered E-dead or some other sound deadening product? Self stick. |

Well, I am probably going to be the last person ever to drive my car considering it is a 95' and it's over 100K so I'm not too worried about it being ucky for the next driver. I thought about buying some dynomat but I hear Great Stuff works pretty well too(plus it is much cheaper). |

Messy but cheap. What's nice is its' expanding qualities. Plus once dry you can shave it to any form. |

Any local hardware store. Lowes, the Depot, even Walmart has it. Like $8 or so per can.

I actually picked it up at Wallmart and it was only $4.25 after tax! So just sort of spray it around the trunk lid then? I probably won't need too much of it I assume. |

Apply it between the frames of the trunk. Get it as deep as you can and fill the cavities. It will look ugly but will do the job. |
