I've noticed a slight (intermittent) rattle in my hood recently. If I apply a small amount of pressure to the front of the hood (just above the rings) the rattling stops. I think it's the hood latch but I can't figure out how to stop the rattling.<p>I plan to have the dealer fix it when I bring it in for 15k service but I thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced/resolved this.

Same on my 99, in cold temperatures, think its the hood contacting the top of the bumper cover.

I've had it also, mind you the only time I can hear it is went I'm out scrapping the windows.

Hey Tony,<p>I had the same rattle before. At first I thought it may be my A! grill, but then I noticed that when I opened the hood and pushed on my grill again, the noise wasn't there. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was the latch under the hood that was loose. I was taking my car in for its 16000km service anyway, so I had the dealer tighten it up for me. No more rattle.<p>Hope this helps.<p><br>James Wu<br>A4 Club of Vancouver<br>1998 Black/Onyx 1.8tqa<ul><li><a href="http://vancouver.a4.org">A4 Club of Vancouver</a></li></ul>
