Yes. As you mentioned, it may change in severity or go away entirely after driving on a bumpy surface. Also, notice that in the rain it doesn't happen.NVSteve wrote:I'll ask you the same: you were able to recognize the squeak in my videos as being the same sound you heard on yours at one point?disallow wrote: I had the same squeak and did the same as recommended above.

Thanks. That certainly sounds like the same thing. I've also been able to hear it in the past when shutting a door.doctahjones wrote:here ya go nvsteve. see if you can hear it in my video. i can't get it to do it while banging on the hood, but you should be able to hear it when i shut the door

I do actually have quite a bit of bedliner sitting around & I was hoping to even bedline my roof gutters this weekend. But, if my rock rails are any kind of indication, I don't think bedliner would hold up very long. 2 pieces of metal grinding and bumping away at each other would probably wear out the bedliner pretty quick.doctahjones wrote:so i wonder what part of the latch it is. i mean is it the 'hook' that catches on the loop or some other part with the latch.
basically wondering if like putting some kind of rubber (or that rubber bedliner for trucks?) around the loop and/or hook part would help eliminate it for good. or at least more than a month at a time.
Why not install a couple more hood stops? I'll have to look closely at mine when I work on it this weekend, but if memory serves, there was all kinds of room on that engine compartment lip.volvite wrote:I still have a bouncy hood as a problem for my pathfinder, but still looking at ideas to fix that.
