GQ Bonnet Question
Hi all,
I adjusted my bonnet the other day to make it easier to close but now I have a couple of rattles one on the drivers side and one on the passengers side that sound like they're coming from right up under the dash. I've had a look under the dash and can't find anything loose.
I was wondering if any one could tell me whether there should be two rubber stoppers at the hinge end of the bonnet in the two round holes near the hinges. I am wondering if my rattles might be the hinges rattling against the bottom of their housings, I thought if there were rubbers in these holes protruding up about a half inch it might stop this.
Any thoughts appreciated

Yeah growlers,
The front stops have rubbers and are adjusted up, the bonnet shuts like a dream, put it down and a gentle push to lock it.
I'm just trying to work out if there should be rubbers near the hinges, as the rattles only seemed to have started after I adjusted it.
But I hated slamming the bonnet.

Hi All,
Just a quick update, I readjusted the bonnet catch and bonnet stoppers last night, it still shuts really easy, but the bonnet is a lot tighter in the catch and my two mystery rattles have disappeared.
Gotta be happy with that,
Thanks to all who replied
