    Over the last few months since installing my new head unit, I've noticed the Metra kit rattles. For whatever reason, the top left portion of the metra din kit, where it meets the dash, will not sit flush and and if its pushed into be flush, it will work itself out by about 1/4th an inch. The rattle has gotten very, very annoying and goes away immediately if I push on the din kit and hold it.

    Anyone have any ideas how to quiet this? I had thought of superglue, but that would be a somewhat permanent solution and I have plans of changing headunits again down the road.

    have you tried shimming the gap with some foam tape?
