The Squeaking Is Drivng Me Crazy!!

[omegavx]

By adjusting the latch what exactly do you mean? I tried greasing it and messing with the ruber stops, but that didn't resolve it.

I have an intermittant squeak too...
...It mostly happens when I go over to New Jersey, but many places in PA cause squeaks too.

I notice I hear more squeaks when I go slow.. temporary solution = go faster.
and of course turn on the radio

I haven't been able to figure outwhere it is coming from yet. I will investigate the latch.

Thanks!

Adjust the latch to hold the hood down against the rubber bumpers firmly.

like all i can say man is wooooowwww

i had this problem for the longest time, this morning i read this thread, i go out at lunch, pop open the hood, turn the 2 rubber hood stops near the radiator a turn each so to make them higher, close the hood, and go to get lunch, this is where the wow comes in, fixed done, schazzammmm

I am not sure that I even needed the tape... After reading the posts I turned the rubber bumpers up a little and have been driving for a couple of days and NO SQUEAKING.... Its amazing how simple.. Thanks

This is what I did for this problem:

1. Grease the hood hook and the lock

2. Turn up rubber pads that the hood sits on in the closed position counter clockwise one full turn

3. Close the hood jently

The squeaking will go away
