hey how can i get rid of that annoying rattle that my hatch makes on my 89 crx si?
thank alot


also does any got any crx floor mats for sale ? dont care the condition, or any place i can buy new ones?

 

There are little black rubber stoppers on both corners of the hatch. Loosen them up and the hatch will close more securely.

if that doesn't work you can wrap electrical tape around the hook...

its ghetto, but like most fixes that are ghetto..

it works for a while..when it doesn't ..do it again..

 

Oh yeah, forgot about that one.

exactly, a temporary fix is only temporary if you stop doing it........(did i just say that?)

Don't feel bad: I have the same problem on the same car. (Is yours yellow too?)

 

yeah me too mine is a red 89 crx si though still same year and style. OH god how that rattle pisses me off

 

I am on my 3rd 2nd gen..and the new one does not rattle..

Oh joy!
(but the previous owner put tape on the hook )

 

I have a similar noise in my hatch. Anyone no what that is?

 

To get rid of my rattle I took a tire patch and made two thin slices. Then I wrapped them around the latch and used the glue that comes with the patch kit to seal the pieces together around the latch. So far i have had no problems and NO MORE rattle. It's great. If you try glueing the rubber to the latch it wont stay because of the metal. The rubber has to be glued to itself in order to stay. The rubber is pretty durable and should last a while if you do a good job the first time. Also, the job doesnt look ghetto at all and if you didnt know any better you would think it came like that.

 

yes do the ghetto job.

 

Do you have a pic?

whooohooo ! I twisted the black plugs down a bit and now my hatch doesnt rattle anymore
THanks guys

 

No, but i can try to get one.

 

Yeah it would help a ton some of these idiots (basically only me). I have to have pictures to know how to do something.

 

dido.
