bought the car a couple months ago, 63k miles one owner. 5 speed. when i bought the car the wiring was somewhat backwards, ex. the dome light would be on in the center position if the door was closed, but not when its open. accessory mode would beep if the door is closed, but not open. anyways, about a week ago all that went back to normal and now i have this knock noise that comes when the car is stopped or when i put it in reverse? the hood is rattling and the left side has started to pop up more and not fit as snug as the right side. idk what the noise is from. any ideas?
