You guys are killing me lol.

OK, I'll say again - when I installed the mount for the example video above, the noise was mainly due to the fact that I did NOT tighten down the u-bolts enough, due to quickly fading daylight.

Now, Im not saying that there isnt SOME rattle when I tighten them completely, but the VAST majority of the noises in the video are due to two things:
1) Loose u-bolts
2) Loose camera mount on the wooden dowel, so it was knocking against the wing nut at the top anytime I'd hit a bump.

I will record another example when I pick the car up from the body shop on the way home.
