Condition
Some customers may comment on a rattle or vibration in the rear of the interior of the vehicle with the stereo at high volume.

Correction 1
Remove the rear speaker and apply a piece of foam to the rear retaining tab.
Correction 2
Install foam under the wiring. Refer to the arrows in the illustration above.
Correction 3
Install foam under the amplifier.
Correction 4
Remove and discard the four push-pin retainers.
