Holy ****, I cant take it anymore. It squeeks over any bump. I went out and bought some lithium grease (got white on accident) and put that on each rubber stub, the latch, and where it connects to the car. Fixed that job, I was so damn happy. But after 5 minutes of driving it came back. WTF do I do to make it stop!

 

Put some rubber washers under the 4 rubber stops around the hood (cut the washers and slide them in place) and put some tape around the U bolt on the hood. Worked for me...

 

I feel your pain. A squeaky hood can drive you nuts. I was just discussing this very issue with my wife. She mentioned that my car didn't "squeak"anymore. I thanked her for this astute observation, and reminded her that she's ruined my life.
As for the squeak...Here's what worked for me. I lubed and tightened the four nuts holding the hood on(two on each side). Then I lithiumed greased the latch like there was no tomorrow. Then I glued the rubber stops to the car so they wouldn't keep rotating. It's worked like a charm so far.

 

same thing happens to me.....=/

 

I didn't use lithium grease, I use Mobil synthetic grease -- it's purple and comes in a tube (like for a grease gun). I have to reapply it to the four rubber stops and the latch every 3 months or so.

 

Hell..I just wrapped the stumps with black electrical tape and called it a day. Worked like a charm..lol...

 

Try the small rubber rounds for furniture legs. They already have sicky on one side. put them on the Hood side where they meet the rubber stoppers. Takes a day or so for the rubber to make a good dent in the rounds, but it stops the squeeeeeeeks immediatly.

 

adjust the latch?

Also maybe some electrical tape on the latch hook

 

Lubed the hood hinges w/ wd40 and used electirical tape on the U-bolt. This has held up for four months so far...

 

I went to the local auto store and went to the HELP! section. Got a power brake check vavle gommet. Took it cut it in half and the cut another part so I could open it. Jammed them underneath the two driver side rubber things, and VOILA no more squeeks. Work like a charm...

 

This is the way to fix it...just wrap electrical tape around the hook that latches in the front...

 

 

Mazda has changed the hood stops in the front adding a half of inch to the material. Totally resolves the problem

 

Don't use WD-40. It's not a form of grease, it's really a solvent. The tape seems to be the thing that's working.
