hood rattle how to adjust?

my hood rattles at just above idle, I assume there are some rubber bumpers that you can screw in and out to adjust how high the hood "seats" but I can't find them.

help it's annoying!

ok...so how did you fix it? are you talking about the safty/secondary latch lever (that you have to reach under the hood and pull up with your fingers), or some part of the linkage for the main latch release?

and I'll check those again tinman, thanks

just loosen the rubber stoppers on each side of the latch. it will make it close tighter. same goes for the trunk.
