hood is loose?? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #48760 9 posts Started by KaJuN
i'm not quite sure how to explain this, but my hood rattles when i hit bumps. i can physically see it move up and down about an inch or so. The latches rattle very loudly when this happens. I'm not sure where to start, i see that the latches aren't adjustable, and neither is the hood catch. Maybe i'm wrong? If pics are required, just say so.
do you have these rubber hood stoppers adjusted properly?

yeah the rubber stoppers are in good positioning. I did shake the the hood around, and it seems to be loose towards the top by the wiper arms. The hinges are what's causing the problem, i think. I just got to work now, so i'll try and remember to take some pics tonight.
Check and make sure all the bolts up there are tight - and that the bolts are actually THERE.

no, i think he means the two bolts that hold the hood to the hood hinges on each side.
