ok my s14 has alot of interior panels rattling when i drive and its getting annoying its mainly because of the two 12's in the trunk and the apexi gt spec exhaust i have.... Now im wondering whats the best and cheapest methods of getting rid of rattles in my car.... both doors rattle, rear interior quarter panels rattle, rear speaker cover rattles, and my rear bumper rattles... any help on products to use and placement of such products will help a ton!

I replaced a few plastic panels with brand new parts, helped a lot..

But I don't have a stereo with subs (OEM for now, and will stay that way for a long time!)

all you probably have to do is tighten the screws!! Most of the back quarter panels have two screws if I remember correctly. Not to mention where it locks down with the back seat.

The doors have screws too. Tighten them up and if you have to get some new 'clips' so that you clip the panel to the metal better. It really shouldn't be that much $$ or work. However, I might take a while to cover everything.

EDIT: sorry, I just re-read your post and it you mention an s14. The above is for an s13, but I didn't want to remove the post becuase the s14 MIGHT have the same fix.
