How do you remove the spoiler on a 2000 Solara? I need to take it off and put some washers under it or something. I used dynamatt extreme 3 layers and the stupid spoiler still rattles like crazy when My bass hits... I guess 1700 watts can do that to a guy.

There's a roll of paper insulation you can buy for the trunk. My friend has this material on his Accord Coupe. You stick this material that looks like paper and foil on the backside of the trunk and it keeps it from rattling.

I have 4 layers of dynamat extreme............ the trunk moves a good half an inch up and down when the bass hits.

Wow, 1700watts, that must be crazy loud. I hope the spoiler removal works!

just remove the carpet from the inside trunk lid. pop off those plastice holders with a panel remover and once removed, you'll see the bare metal part of the inside of the trunk lid. remove bolts, and disconnect wires if need to.

duuuuude!.... why don't you remove the ram mat? if that's not possible, try and poke around to see if you can locate the hole the screw goes into. good luck!
