Great Stuff Question
Ok so when the sub in my car gets going, the piece on the trunk lid that holds the license plate on vibrates like none other, and i was wondering if i took that off and put some Great Stuff under it, would that work to stop the vibrating?

 ok, GREAT STUFF™ quickly bonds to common building substrates for a flexible, long-lasting seal. Learning where and how to use will optimize your energy savings, that was the definition i found.
Its like foam in a can |

If you do the great stuff than make sure you apply it to the license plate side only and wait for it to dry completely before you put it back on, otherwise its going to stick to the paint.

dont spray any of that foam to pieces on the car. It will buckle steel and break plastic under the force of expansion.

Not if you use it correctly. My trunk lid and the plastic panel behind the license plate is held together by that stuff.
We have 16 cans used in the van so far, about to go for another 16. |

Well that happened to me in my old alero. I just used a lot of dynomat and it did not rattle anymore. So you could try that.

They have two versions, the window and door stuff will not deform surroundings near as much as the other version. |

there is a type that does expand like crazy, but there is also a type that doesn't expand barely any at all. it should work of done right and hidden good.

The way it rains around here there wouldn't be anything left to dry except for the water itself.
