Fit freak license frame rattles!

Anyone have problems with a rattle from fitfreak.net license frame and plate ?
Just installed my plates and I have a vibrating noise from the bottom of the plate vibrating against frame.

And that is why I don't run license plate frames.

That said, I noticed my old rusty plate was contacting the hatch surface and buzzing a bit. I wedged a small piece of foam rubber between the plate and the body. Problem solved.

Yup foam will solve your problem. My sisters frame was doing this.

take a couple pennies with you to home depot and get some rubber grommets and place them in between frame/plate/mount and you're golden.

I fixed it by moving the plate from to the front and left the back plate w/o a plate frame. Seems to have done the trick, if it rattles on the front I can't hear it so all is well.

lol, isn't that the truth !, it's because they are metal and not plastic, the plastic one that was on my car didn't rattle at all but it was advertising for the dealer and unless he's paying me, I ain't advertising for him for free!
