Front door bumpers - two per
side at the rear of the doors

Slider bumper - one per side at
rear edge of door

 |
Hatch bumper - one in each lower
corner

Slider rattles may often be fixed by
"floating" the plastic receivers that hold the door in position
relative to the body.
 |
Slightly loosen the bolts
holding the receivers to the door jambs. Close the slider and gently push
in on the front of the door to move the receiver as far inward as
possible. Open the slider and then tighten the receiver bolts.
|
The hood bumpers are located at the front corners
of the engine bay. They're threaded so you can turn them by hand to adjust how
the hood closes. Adjust them if the hood is too hard to close or if there's any
movement when it's latched.

They're threaded, so turn them a
little at a time to make the hood easier to close or to prevent up and
down motion of the hood when closed.
