Yes, this is the prime suspect! Secondly, the gilles, but highly unlikely.

rear shelf is the rear deck.. it's where the speaker, first aid kit, and your sub is located.

I had a vibration from there as well. Apparently, me and the tech foreman were the only ones who heard it because all the other bozo's there seemed to think there was "no problem observed at this time". Well the replaced the entire rear deck panelling (203-690-44-49-27-7E63) and vibration was still there. Ended up being the " subwoofer mounting point". All taken care of now. Not a single rattle from the back deck!

Sounds good to me....

Actually the price of all AMG wheels has increased due to the Euro. Autoclass sells them for $590 each now!

Think of it...a mod that increases in value!
