um you mean the hood is vibrating? just loosen those rubber stoppers so the hood sits lower and no more rattle.

it comes off from where the stick is suppose to clamp down...the holder is there bbut i dont kno how it comes off. when i was looking at it...behind the driver side headlight, the place where the stick is....its kinda loose in there...maybe cuz its moving so much when i drive it pops out of place.

put a piece of sticky tape or some kind of putty so when you push it in it doesn't move around

i just replaced both clips that hold it in.

I bought the pivoting clip, and the holding clip (holds it when closed).

It cost me a whopping $3.60 direct from my local honda dealer.
That vibrating was pissing me off.

the part numbers are....
370148 for the pivoting end clip

and

370147 for the holder clip

pivoting end clip? i don't seem to have that. its just the metal bar going in a hole. maybe it fell out lol

yea, it is supposed to have a white circular clip. Honda calls it the Hood Rod Grommet.
