It does not scratch the glass, Ive had mine like this now for 2 years. Just cutting holes might still rattle even though its letting some pressure through. If you want to keep it, take it out, dynamat all the edges around the clips and put it back in.

 

My rear tray is gone. I don't have a sub yet. When I finally get a sub installed, I don't want rattles from the tray to be an issue so I removed it in advance.

 

More sound from the sub.

Less rattles form the plastic.

how bad is the increase from the road noise

 

road noise is hell, but i'm putting in some b-quiet right now to get rid of all of that.

 

I dont know where, but I thought I read somewhere that without that rear deck, if the top is down for extended periods of time, the frame will slightly warp. Can someone debunk this for me? (Someone who has had this done for a few years). I am thinking of yanking it ot too.

Any pics of the after effects?

 

How about shooting it full of medium expanding foam?
