I tried using the search but I couldn't find anything. (I'm sure there's something somewhere, tho)

There's a squeak coming FROM my hood... I keep hitting the hindges and latch with WD-40, but it keeps coming back. It's starting to become a daily thing and it's ticking me off... HELP!!! How do I get rid of it once and for-all???

 

WD-40 is as good as spraying water on it.

 

this is common. mine does it too. you need to adjust the rubber stoppers at the front.

 

I had to lower my actual hood latch assembly. I moved it around 1/4" down and the sound went away. Not sure why it was like that tho.

 

yup its the ruber bump stops, they suck, might have to even loosen the latch and lower it like said, its annoying noise right? i hated it.

 

wat i did was put grease on the latch. i had to regrease it couple days ago. works like a charm

 

Silicone Spray Lubricant...end of story.

 

graphite, lithium grease, moly-b,Silicone spray are all lubricants, WD-40, Liquid Wrench, are made to loosen rust and seized bolts.

it might be a squirrel stuck under the hood, watch the movie "The Emperor's New Groove" to learn to speak squirrel. I believe Cronk has that merit badge.

 

Squeekity squeek squeek squeeker?

Anyways...lol.....yeah, the creaky wooden bridge noise? Rubber stoppers most likely. I put a dab of vasaline on mine, rubbed it in instead of leaving it globbed on. Worked fine fer me.

 

aaah, you speak squirrel too!

 

Goddammit

 

I lubed the hinges, latch, and rubber stoppers on Friday and no more squeaks. I used a spray lubricant but I will go back and use some white lithium grease.
