The wing or the brake light to not rattle? If it's the wing, make sure the nuts/bolt are tight. If it's the brake light, do the same.

Were you saying you put a third brake light in the Window, or are you saying there's one in the wing? I've no wing and I don't have the third brake light in my car. I haven't had anyone say anything about it, Do you actually need a third brake light though(legally)?

Yes, it is illegal. All car after 1986 need to have a 3rd brake light. I also didn't have one on my GSR and was never bothered, BUT if someone ever rear ends you, they could possibly use it against you if you don't have one.

yeah..but i dont want to have holes in my glass (i believe you need to drill a hole or two to install it?)..any other way to go about this without drilling through my rear windshield?

Re: (cloudx71)
use silicon or any gasket maker you have laying around. As long as you don't slam the hatch close all the time it will hold up fine. I speak from experience.
