One I've already noted is the hood prop rod in the nylon clip. I think I'm going to see if a small piece of the thin, self-adhesive felt ribbon I found will stick to the recess there or around the rod. I have lots of self-adhesive felt, self-adhesive rubber gasket and other stuff that I can apply liberally where needed.

One advantage of getting older is that my hearing is not as good as it used to be. My old cars that were once rattle traps are sounding tighter and tighter every year on their own.

13 years old still no rattles here..........My last one was 18 years old and the only rattle was due to the drivers door latch coming loose.
