A lot of you probably know this but I've never seen it posted. So FYI--If your hood rattles or there is play up and down when it is latched, the little round bumpers in the front are adjustable. They are spiral cut and will screw in and out to raise and lower to make the hood close tightly. The bad news is they are probably hard as rocks and will just break off. The good news is new ones are about four bucks each and make the hood close tight and spring up nicely when the inside latch release is pulled.

 

Thanks for the info....
I just done this on mine and it works great.I thought it might make the hood stick up,but it didn't.

 

Where did you get them at?

 

Got them at the dealer-had to order.

 

Yeah I had to order them as well as mine had disappeared. It does make a world of diference.

 

BUT wait there is more lol.

There are also 2 big cone shaped bumpers on the hood itself. This also helps put pressure to pop it up. They become flat and you will be amazed if you get new ones how big they actually are compared to the old ones. They are located in the middle of the hood and may be covered by the seal (they are right behind the seal). They are also only a couple of bucks. The upper ones are actually the ones that are supposed to help with the hood springing up when you pop the latch. The screw type are just supports to even out the sides. Well I say that but they all work together for the hood to work right.

I replaced all my rubber bumpers (front and rear) so my hood and trunk would sit right and work like new.

 

Ya my hood started rattling like crazy a couple of weeks ago. I just stuffed some cardboard there to prop itup a little more to stop the rattling. Looks like I have to order the new pieces.

 

Do you by any chance have the part number for it. My local dealer only has half a brain. I'll try to make it easier for him.

 

Part# 65840-D0100

 

you can also use some thick rubber tape in there. i just had some lying around so i used it and it worked just fine.

 

Do you have pics? im not really handy and could use some help cause my hood rattles when I drive on the highway.

 

I stopped at the dealer today, the lower bump stops are $2.50 each times 2, and the upper ones were $5.50 each x 2. Not in stock, so they were ordered and will be in sometime next week.

I could but not for a while (my camera is at home). Open the hood. Look at your headlight assembly. About an inch and a half behind the headlight adjustment wheel is this rubber bumper. That's it.

 

hey this is great, I recently noticed a slight vibration when at a stop. I did'nt know that there were another set of bumpers.

 

I hate my f***ing dealer. He is such a rip off. He charged me $7.50 each bump stop. That is full list price!

 

Yeah, dealers s u c k.

 

Here's the pic of a new one installed.

 

Hey can you post a pic of the other one. I think mine fell off, I have no idea what they look like.

 

no 12345678

 

Of the top ones?

Here you go if that is what you are talking about. These are the replacement ones. They are much bigger around than the ones that were squished.

 

TY awsm66, FU silverlinekenne.

 

well you asked a question and I gave you an answer then you go and do that. But im going to be a good org. member.

 

Looks like a couple of N/M

 

i believe that part number is wrong. i think thats for the fiberglass piece thats on the hood. i was told by the stealer the part number for the top is 625840. i dont have the bottom one.

edit: the part numbers are 62840 and 65823. total came to 17.01 for all of them. When i was taking mine out, they didnt want to come out, so they just broke off, the rubber was so old it just cracked all over the place, nasty!

 

[QUOTE=tripleGmax]i believe that part number is wrong. i think thats for the fiberglass piece thats on the hood. i was told by the stealer the part number for the top is 625840. i dont have the bottom one. when i get it ill edit this post.

That is the number the parts guy at the dealer that ordered mine for me gave me. I can't verify it.

Ya the part number for the bottom ones is 62840-D0100
