I tapped on the metal part of the wheel wells and even where i dynamtted they still still ring/vibrate like crazy. Almost like there is a cavity between the exterior wheel well and the wheel well in the hatch.
It dulled it somewhat... Almost to a point you can't hear it. But, you still can. I plan on putting some FatMat behind the plastic liner as another member stated... just waiting for FatMat to show up. It's worth the $20 of Fat Mat to try. Plus there was a couple pieced together areas in the hatch I want to rework so the extra material will allow me to do that. $60 total is a cheap way to minimize / deaden the noise in my opinion. Plus, the stereo does sound better after this treatment.
