Bonnet Loose

[markOhR33]

Hi my bonet is loose and its producing noise when driving.

Is there anyway to fix it other than changing the bonnet.

Cheers

Where is it loose?

Towards the windscreen or towards the bumper?

if it is towards the bumper then you can get the rubber stops on the side replaced. They are about 10-15cm from the edge. You can adjust them up and down by turning them. If they are missing, just go to Nissan to get some more - or any other car dealership, they are usually much the same.

It toward the windscreen. Both the right hand and left hand side are loose...

We can I get a replacement for that... Or is there any stopper I can put to prevent it from rattling?

Dude if you have a look it most likely is only the bolts on the hinges that are loose from the way you are describing it.

Other causes that spring to mind are the ''rubber stops'' that screw into either side of the ''radiator support bar''.These give the front of the bonnet somthing to sit against frimly so the bonnet doesnt fly freely in the wind at high speeds.Id say if the bonnet can be moved at the front of the car chances are you will have to adjust the height of them to a higher level.

Other than that it might be the catch that is giving you the problems.If so tighten all the bolts,top to botom,as needed.I think that there is one on the botom and 4 up top.

Hope that helps.

If it's towards the windscreen where you are saying, then you need to check to make sure the bolts holding the bonnet on are tight. If they are then the hinge itself needs to be replaced. Just check the bolts first, they could be loose.

Ya the bolts is loose however i dun see a way to tighten it at all... Cos there isnt any nut that I can tighten....

What should I do???

Then they aren't the bolts, they are the rivvets that hold the hinge together. You will need to replace the hinges. What state do you live in? and can you post a pic of the hinge in question with a paint shop arrow to what part is loose. I can try to track down some new hinges for you if you like.
