Rear wing rattle
Hi.
Does any one have suggestions on how I can prevent my rear wing from making a rattling sound when I'm idling? I believe the engine vibration is causing the wing to rattle because when I tap on the wing, its hte same sound i hear when I'm idling or at a stop light. I think its just the plastic (top half) of the wing that is rattling.
Thanks!

Hello.
I finally had time to take a look at it and the issue is now resolved. Easier than I expected!
I removed the 5 screws in front of wing and slide the painted cover off. Checked for any broken clips- there were none.
I tightened the 4 nuts that attached the rubber pads under the wing.
I stuck some thin foam padding on the underside of the wing on each side. They were 1 inch by .5 inch strips.
reattached the painted cover and screws.
as I was examining the underside of the wing assembly, I noticed 4 rubber “plugs”. I hand tightened them as much as they could go.
no more rattle!
I suspect I could have skipped the whole disassembly of the painted cover if I would have tried hand tightening the rubber plugs first… if anyone encounters the same issue, try that first.
