I concentrated on just that a couple years ago when I first started hearing the noise. Made sure every single bolt was tight and greased/lubed all moving parts related to the bonnet (hood). I like your suggestion, but I'd be afraid the only noise I could hear would be the banging from the bonnet being loose. Still, I might give that a shot next month when I hit the dirt again.mar1 wrote:bonnet lock?
try popping your bonnet next time you're driving and see if it goes away.
I had the same squeak and did the same as recommended above. Worked like a charm.rragpaoa wrote:Aha! I know what that is!
Okay, not really, BUT, try this: Take some spray-on graphite grease, bought some at Home Depot, and spray the 3 rubber bump stops on the hood. Make sure you spray inside where the rubber bump stops attaches to the hood.
So, you were able to recognize the same noise from my videos as you are encountering? If it is the same thing, I will be overly thrilled.doctahjones wrote:i've got the same squeak.
i was FINALLY able to positively locate where the squeak was coming from, and it is something with the hood.
if i make a fist and hit the bottom of my fist against the hood on the passenger side, it will make the noise. at one point i had narrowed it down to the latch, but that was from the inside and i could never get it to do it while stopped.
i'll make a vid here in a bit....

For whatever reason, after a good banging around off road, the noise will be gone from pavement driving for quite a while before it rears itself again.
