I know Joe_Black and I discussed this on another thread ( http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...5&pagenumber=2 ). Originally I had greased the rubber hood stops, as well as the hood hook and latch and my squeak didn't go away. So I figured it wasn't the hood so I turned to oiling every bolt under and around the shocks, springs, bushing and even the bolts on the rims and it still occured. It wasn't until I actually put tape around the hood hook that the squeak seems to have actually gone away. I've only been testing it out today, but so far not one squeak since the tape went on. Here are a couple of pics of where I placed the tape.
I'm thinking there has to be somthing better then tape that will last alot longer. I've only closed the hood once and opened it back up once and the tape has already been ripped apart. I'm betting that its preventing the latch from moving up and down n the hook and thats whats stopping it from squeaking. Maybe There's a rubber piece of some kind or somthing that we can use, any ideas??
BTW, my original solution was loud radio as well. I could only hear it when I turned the volume down and it would go away when I turned the volume back up. Maybe I should have checked my radio for static while in the low/off positionj/k
