A big shout out to hondo for sharing this awesome fix. I bought the 1" Sorbothane from Amazon instead of the 1/2" and I've tested it with all kinds of heavy bass drop songs with maximum volume and there is ZERO rattle at all!!! Now I can finally enjoy my touring to the max.

I've gone through the "other" thread a bit to try and find the best way to install but there seem to be a few variations. Care to share your installation steps and maybe more pics?

It was a very easy process I just shoved them in there lol
I lined them up between the windshield and at the edge of the plastic
Just be careful not to drop the sorbothane in the little space between the windshield and third brake light because it was a bitch to get them out lol

Just got my beads in today. Took a total of 5 minutes to install and that God-awful rattling is completely gone!! So worth the $17 I spent, rather than repeated trips back to the dealer to maybe get a solution :thumbsup:

I am very pleased with this fix and so far zero rattle with maximum volume on massive bass drop songs

I agree. I initially took it to the dealer and their fix kinda worked but only for a while. The cheap foam they used deteriorated pretty quickly. After looking at videos about sorbothane it seemed like a magical, unrealistic solution. But after putting them in the rear deck I love that stuff. It absorbs the vibrations, stays in place, and seems like it will last forever. I'm not sure if there is an ideal application, but since there are 20 in the pack you can put them all along the back of the rear deck and also around the rear brake light and still have plenty to spare.

Ok, I took more pictures today so here they are and I hope it helps. I purchased the 1 inch though and they only come in 8 pieces but definitely a lot bigger than what hondo uses and I am loving it so far. The rattle is completely gone whether it is cold or hot or maximum volume with the most ridiculous bass drop songs.
