Hood rattle

[viperdoctor]

I've noticed that my hood rattles at the latches down by the door sills. You can just tap it on the side of the clam shell and you can hear the latches rattling...There's a lot of sideways play.

I couldn't find anything in the archives...Has anyone already dealt with this rattle?

Most rattles and squeaks on the Viper bother me about as much as the fact that this thing ***** gas like no tomorrow (in other words, not a lot), but I still would like to fix it.

I'll answer my own question in case it helps somebody:

The guides down by the door sill are easily adjustable left and right to get the hood tension correct. Then the two halves of the guides are easily squeezed together by hand to reduce any play while the hood is closed.

No more rattle now...
